    Scripts are basically a type of program that is coded using something called SCAR. SCAR scripts work through your browser so their actions seem more human-like and are vitually undetectable.
    The downloads section contains programs that are coded in perl and VB and other such programs, they have fewer boundaries than the SCAR scripts and can run much faster, hence why you find VB ABers and not SCAR ABers.

    And those are the main differences :p

    Still a bit confused but I get the gist of it. Many thanks. +rep to you for very quick response and great help. :D

    Right, I think I get the differences between the two. How do you run the dowloads and how do you run the scripts on your computer? Does that make sense?

    scar is much different than vb. scar is used for automating stuff like playing games and other things, but unlike vb, you cant use your computer while the scar script runs. you also need the program scar to be able to run the scripts
