Yes, remove Windows Scripting Host, and IF you click on an attachment that is a .vbs script (99.999999% VIRUS!) it will NOT automatically run and infect your computer, you will be asked by a pop-up box if you want to install the Scripting Host first, and that way you KNOW it's not a picture, but a virus. REAL Pictures will automatically be viewed in your default viewer when you click.
