What is ScriptBlocker?

ScriptBlocker

ScriptBlocker is a handy tool that helps you keep your computer safe from ransomware. One common way ransomware sneaks into computers is through scripts in email attachments, like VBS, JS, HTA, and PS1 files. These scripts activate when you download them, which can lead to some serious problems. To prevent this, it's best to disable certain Windows features that make your PC vulnerable to these attacks.

How ScriptBlocker Works

This tool is super simple to use! It can turn off the Windows Script Host, HTML applications, PowerShell, and Command Prompt. By doing this, it blocks ransomware from using these platforms to infect your computer.

Easy Setup

You don't even need to install ScriptBlocker—it's lightweight and can be stored on a USB flash drive. This means you can take it anywhere and quickly disable those risky Windows features on any computer. Just remember that you'll need administrative rights for it to work properly!

User-Friendly Interface

The main app window lays out all the options clearly. You just check the boxes next to the Windows features you want to turn off. There's no need for extra clicks to confirm; changes are applied right away! For example, if you tick the "Disable Command Prompt" option and then try running cmd.exe again, you'll see a message saying that the command prompt was disabled by your admin.

Reverting Changes

If you want everything back to normal, just uncheck those boxes—easy peasy! Again, changes happen instantly without needing a restart or anything extra.

Performance on Windows 10

We tested ScriptBlocker on Windows 10 and everything worked perfectly. The software disabled system tools right away and didn't slow down the computer at all!

A Word of Caution

Just so we're clear: ScriptBlocker won't help if ransomware has already infected your PC. It's always smart to have a strong antiransomware tool ready that can protect against new threats and also find any existing problems.
