Script Sentry question

[thanatoid]

Having seen Script Sentry mentioned here, I checked into it. It
seems like a good alternative to what I have done - removing
most of the scripting files from win\sys (with NO ill effects
whatsoever I might add). But I did that before I even knew what
a firewall etc. was, and anyway, firewalls don't guard you
against a browser executing malware.

I read about it and DL'd it and it looks like a pretty good
piece of software to me.

Anyone have much experience with SS?

Care to comment?

Haven't really tested it but I have used it on Win98 and 2000Pro for many
years and the only problem I have found is that it is picked up as malware
(false positive) by SuperAntiSpyware and AntiMalware ( I just put it on the
ignore list in both).
If you want to open something that is on the list of ext you chose to have
it check, it brings up a warning box that asks you if you want to open it
always, this time or never.
It will be interesting to see the comments of others.
I hope they list their operating system when posting their comments.
