Neither Visual Basic, nor requiring Office.
.vb{s,e} are VBScript, which is *not* the same as VB. It can be
installed separately, as part of an IE upgrade, and is installed by
default on Win2k and upwards.
(Visual Basic is not part of Office either, come to that. VBA is, but
once again...).
VB uses .fr{m,x}, .bas. .cls, .vb{p,w}.

Grrrr. (J(ava)|ECMA)Script is absolutely *not* Java. The only reason for
the similarity in name between Java and Netscape's implementation of
ECMAScript is a bit of bandwagon-jumping by NS a number of years ago.
If you want to block Java, you need to be looking for .java, .jar,
.class, etc.
