Your best defense is locking your home stack, or constantly searching
your home stack for script modifications.

You can try editing the script of a stack before opening it, but the
virus might be in any object in the new stack.

Even though you can check the params of a set command for the word
"script", no unlocked stack will be safe until Apple prevents using
the set command in a end to HyperCard

I'd elaborate, but wouldn't feel right about explaining how to commit
sabotage.
