A method of preventing execution of malicious scripts includes intercepting a script that originates from an application program running on a computer before directing the script to a script engine and determining the origin of the script (e.g. the script is from a web site, from a temporary file, from a registry key, or from an environment variable). Next, it is determined whether the script is malicious by analyzing the origin of the script and if the script originated from a web site of a foreign country, an environmental variable, a registry key, or a temporary folder, the script is determined to be malicious. If the script is malicious, execution of the script is suppressed or if the script is not malicious, the script is forwarded to the script engine and executed by the script engine.
