vbs script is blocked by anti-virus software

After all of you helped me a lot with my last question (thanks again,
everything worked great!), I'm again without any idea!

Now I have my complete .vbs script that tests the installed Windows
version and the installed Adobe Reader Version.
I've burned it to a CD with a Autorun.inf that looks like this:

[autorun]
shellexecute = cscript.exe VersionCheck.vbs


My problem: On almost every computer the script is blocked as a
'dangerous virus' by the anti-virus software.

What can I do? I thought of maybe converting it to exe and as I googled
that seems to be good solution if you have VB what I don't have!

Is there an other way to make the script run? It won't be send by email
it will just be on a CD!

Any hint? Thanky you very much!

You could convert it to an exe but it might cost. There's a tool called
exescript
at www.hide-folder.com - I haven't used it before but it might help. ~$50

You can turn off script blocking on the machines but that would expose
you to scripts which you don't want. Look at the config and see if
you could whitelist versioncheck.vbs so NAV will let it run. I had
this issue with a login script once and I think I had to disable
scriptblocking to get it to work.

I would recommend not sending a .vbs via email. I'd zip it up first to email it, or place it on a site accessible by the end users of your script (such as the company intranet) or a central file share and just include the link in email. Since Outlook by default now blocks .vbs scripts, even if it gets past a virus scanner if the end user's company hasn't overridden the defaults, it still won't be received.
