Worms and CScript/WScript

["Blake Frantz" <blake () mc net>]

Hello,

A majority of the worms (even SQLsnake) that have been going around
lately take advantage of cscript and wscript.  What ramifications would
be felt on vanilla installs of common services (MS SQL, Exchange, IIS,
etc.) if these two files were moved or deleted?  It seems like a fairly
easy way to help mitigate the 'success' of Internet worms.  Any
thoughts?
