Isn't it possible to remux the content into something different than ASF and play that? The videostream is not the thing opening the URLs..

Now that I think about it, there might be an option somewhere to try to use the Windows Media / DMO components for reading ASF and playing/decoding WMV which is on by default. If you turn it off it uses libav stuff to open ASF / WMV and thus will not follow all the script actions inside the file.

Most obvious answer is ofcourse to not open that kind of files... sounds to me like you got some weird illegal WMV encodes, can't think of any other reason there is malware-like scripts inside ASF files...
