You might check out Zone Alarm, which quarinetines any executable 
files, .exe, .vbs, .com.  You then can choose to open them or not.
Zone Alarm is used mostly as a firewall for your computer, is highly 
rated and free.  I got it after finding that cable modem connections 
were the ones used most by jbots created by hackers to use your 
machine.
  
Side note: I installed the Linksys internet sharing router on my lan, 
worked on the first try.  That router furnishes some hardware firewall
capabilities.

No connection with either product.
