Windows automation Windows viruses Windows Automation, Viruses written by Roman Loyola on Wednesday, March 31, 2004 Answers to live calls for the March 31 show. Call No. 1: Windows automation Greg in Houston yearns for the days of Windows 3.1 and 95, when the operating system used to include a macros editor. Windows XP doesn't have a macros editor. What can he use to create Windows macros? Sounds like you need a scripting tool. There isn't a built-in tool in XP. Microsoft has left that feature up to third-party companies. Windows comes with a Scheduler, http://www.iopus.com/guides/winscheduler.htm but it's limited in its functions. Kevin says you should take a look at AutoMate. http://www.unisyn.com/automate/ It's an expensive solution -- $395. If it's out of your price range, do a search at your favorite download site for "Windows scripting." Discuss this topic and offer your tech advice. Call No. 2: Windows in the crosshairs Mark in Martinez, Calif., wants to know why Windows is the main target of virus creators. Windows is a target because it has the largest installed base. Virus creators want to affect as many machines as possible. With Windows, you're talking about hundreds of millions of computers. Windows is also a target because many people have found holes in the operating system. Microsoft is often slow when it comes to patching the holes. That's not to say that Linux and Mac don't have holes. It's just that people are paying more attention to Windows. Sure, you can attack Linux and Mac computers, but you're going after the minority of the population.
