Scripts are little programs that execute when the page is opened.
For instance, when you are on a web page and you move your mouse over certain words and things happen, like more choices come up, this is a script. You cannot see the script in the message unless you look at the source code for it. Many people now have the ability to put web links in their e-mail messages so that all you have to do is click on the link to go to that web page. To prevent these scripts from having the ability to execute when you read them, turn off the scripting. In Outlook, choose Options from the Tools menu.
