CLSID/HTML Scripts from web pages
Some types of viruses use CLSID and
HTML scripts to avoid detection. Attachments that end with a Class ID (CLSID)
file extension do not show the actual file extension with Internet Explorer. This
allows dangerous file types to look harmless. eScan allows e-mail's with such
extensions to be auto deleted. HTML e-mail's can be used to transmit virus
through embedded scripts. eScan, provides a list of such script tags. You can
add other dangerous script names to the list. All e-mail's with such tags are
auto deleted.
