containing the exploit code will be detected as JS_DLOADER.BXR
while the downloaded component will be detected as WORM_SPYBOT.DC.
You may read on JS_DLOADER.BXR description by following the link

As for customers who use Internet Explorer, disabling the Active
Scripting is suggested as a work around by Microsoft. More details
can be found in the following link:

Another suggestion is to use another internet browser, Mozilla
Firefox or Netscape can do. It’s your choice what browser you want
to use.

currently developing a generic pattern but a Beta version has been
released as EXPL_TXTRANGE.A and EXPL_TXTRANGE.B using CPR version
