AntiVirus stopping my scripts

Hi,
I've tried to run a VBScript which will eaily update a file on the computer (which could be used on many computers to update their files as well) but the antivirus pops up and blocks it from working immediately! I understand why it would do this, but is there a way around this?
The Script basically updates the hosts file automatically so there's no need to go to each system and alter the file manually, but naturally the AntiVirus thinks this to be a risky script and blocks it...

Either set your antivirus software to prompt you when scripts try to run (so you can tell it to allow the script) or just turn off script blocking altogether.
Obviously both of these are security risks, but they're about your only options.
