W32/Sohanad.U is a worm. The worm will infect Windows systems and spreads through instant messaging applications.
This worm may arrive via instant messaging applications, specifically Yahoo! Messenger and Windows Live Messenger/Windows Messenger.
This worm propagates via Yahoo! Messenger, AIM, Windows Live Messenger or Windows Messenger. It does the said routine by sending an instant message to all the contacts of an active user. The said message contains a link to a remote copy of itself. When the recipient clicks the link, the copy is executed on the recipients' system.

How to disable (or re-enable) the Windows Scripting Host:
The program, Noscript.exe, will disable the Windows Scripting Host; this will prevent viruses from executing automated scripts.
Note: Disabling the WSH will prevent all the scripts from running on the system.
1. Download Noscript.exe from symantec to a folder on the hard disk.

2. Double-click the Noscript.exe icon. The Norton Script Disabler/Enabler appears.
* If the WSH is currently enabled on the system, you will be prompted as to whether you want to disable it. To do so, click Disable, and then click OK.
* If the WSH is currently disabled on the system, you will be prompted as to whether you want to enable it. To do so, click Enable, and then click OK.
