Did I just wrote a virus?

Halleluuja

A strange thing happened.

I was just refreshing my memory by using vbscript commands I learned about a week ago.

And when I had written another simple script and wanted to save it, my anti-virus program suddenly alarmed.

And the cause of that alarm was the same code I had just finished.

Is that code really so dangerous:

dim filesys, mymsg

set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set mymsg = filesys.CreateTextFile("C:Helloonefile.txt")
mymsg.write CHR(13) & CHR(10) & "Hello!"
mymsg.Write "What a nice day."
mymsg.close

VB Scripts, and in particular the FileSystemObject (which has a pathetic security), were used in some pretty well-known virii. So basic Virus Protection Applications prematurely block script files.

The way I see it... Well, it's all pretty blurry
