I have just persuaded a friend to buy a firewall after he got a dose of
MSBlast.
As a result, he is now getting a VBS script problem reported each time
he starts MS Word (2000). It reports that a script called word.nec is
being called. His machine is a PackardBell pre-installed with Windows XP
& Word, and as a result, the "owner" is shown in all the splash screens
as NEC Computers (I understand that NEC is the parent company for
PackardBell).
I assume that this is some way of verifying the licence is still valid,
or something similar.
I did a search on the web, and only found a couple of similar mentions,
but no-one had solved the question.
Does anyone know if there any way to prevent the script being called? If
so, do we invalidate the licence? I know I can simply tell McAfee to
permit the script each time, but I am not keen to see unnecessary
programs called if it can be avoided.
