Repellent can solve all your email and Internet virus worries with the click of a button, you can disable all VB and Java applets and scripting, as well as all Registry files. These are the viruses and worms that your virus scanner is trying to find and kill. These script viruses do the real damage, like Melissa and KAK. A virus scanner can miss a new virus because it does not know the signature yet. Repellent does not need to know the signature. It simply disables the scripting capabilities. And to ensure that an Active Server page (asp file) cannot re-enable them by editing the Registry, Repellent also disables the files that run the scripting.
