This is the delivery method that was attached to the virus scan results that I did last night.

Script viruses (VBScript, JavaScript, HTML)

Script viruses are written in script programming languages, such as VBScript and JavaScript. VBScript (Visual Basic Script) and JavaScript viruses make use of Microsoft's Windows Scripting Host to activate themselves and infect other files. Since Windows Scripting Host is available on Windows 98 and Windows 2000, the viruses can be activated simply by double-clicking the *.vbs or *.js file from Windows Explorer.

HTML viruses use the scripts embedded in HTML files to do their damage. These embedded scripts automatically execute the moment the HTML page is viewed from a script-enabled browser.
