What is the main difference between 'Script Sentry' and 'Script
Defender'?

Pricelessware only lists Script Sentry so does this mean Script
Defender is not so good?
http://www.pricelessware.org/2004/PL2004SECURITY.htm

Others seem to say both are good and both are free
See "Preventing Unknown scripts from activating" at
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/security.htm

Which one should I go for?

I know some people prefer Scripte defender because you can extend it's
capabilities to monitor other types of extensions/scripts. Script
defender will just popup a warning, asking if you want to allow it to
execute.

Script Sentry is more limited in the types of scripts it can monitor ,
but on the other hand it can tell you more about what a given script will
(do in general) when intercepting it (write to registry, delete file
etc). The price for that in depth feature is that it is more limited and
unlike script defender it cannot monitor other kinds of scripts.

Can they be used together?

There's another folder in AnalogX called 'PortBlocker' which contains
the following textfile:

"08/29/2003 20:59:04.718: PortBlock starting bound to 172.185.52.235

Any idea what it might mean?
