Hem, usually PC viruses with a bat extension are not scripts, but plain x86 executables... You would have to launch them under PcTask, and still it would probably say "this program cannot be run in dos mode" :)
Once I replied to such a message, asking for an Amiga version of the attachment I've received... strangely, no one ever replied me ;)

Actually a *.bat file on MS-DOS/Windows is a batch file. It is a script file. Batch as in a batch of commands put together to run quickly in succession. In fact .bat files are the first type of script file known to the Microsoft world.

The potential damage that could be wrought by running one of these .bat files is extremely high.
