Mostly true. Depends on your virus checker and its settings. It's
possible (and may be probable, if that's not an oxymoron) that
antivirus software would warn about the execution of *any* vbs file.
So the usual caveat about vbs and antivirus interaction still applies.
Just something for the user to be aware of, not a stumbling block.

The other related issue is that if this is installed on a user's
system, the vbs file must be installed into a directory for which the
user has the proper permissions to install and delete and run files.
