Solution:
SBSample.vbs is a test script provided by Symantec for the purpose of testing the Script Blocking feature of Norton AntiVirus. SBSample.vbs is not a virus. It is a test script that has been preprogrammed to alert on the SBSample.vbs as a way to test that Script Blocking is working correctly.

Do the following to download SBSample.vbs and test Script Blocking:

• Download SBSample.vbs

2. Click Options. Click Norton AntiVirus if you see a menu.
3. In the Options list box, click Script Blocking.
4. Make sure "Enable Script Blocking (recommended)" is checked.
5. Click OK and then close Norton AntiVirus.

3. Click OK. The following Script Blocking alert appears
   
   
   Choose Stop this script, Allow this activity once or Allow the entire script once. Do not choose "Quarantine this script", since the test script was not designed to test the quarantine functionality. Also, if you choose "Authorize this script", then you will no longer see alerts when you run the SBSample.vbs test script.
   
   You can run this file as often as needed.
