There are a lot of different types of viruses, and they don't all act the same. You can read some info. at Trend Micro:

There's info. at the below site on how to disable or uninstall the Windows Scripting Host. Symantec has a small "NoScript" script disabler/enabler you can download, also.

How to disable (or re-enable) the Windows Scripting Host:
The program Noscript.exe will disable the Windows Scripting Host; this will prevent viruses from executing automated scripts. Please note that disabling the WSH will prevent all scripts from running on the system.
