After several viruses and malware infections, I did a reboot and installed Firefox as my browser. I've been free of the bad stuff ever since (several months now). All of my spyware/malware and virus protection is up to date and all scans declare the computer clean.
I've also kept up with all the updates for my computer, etc.
The only ANNOYING AS HELL problem I am having is that I keep getting "Unresponsive Script" warnings. It happens randomly and on any given website. I may be trying to go forward or backwards a page, open a link, open a site...no real rhyme or reason to it.
When it happens, the computer just locks up, the bar across the top of the screen says "Not Responding" and I get a small window (from Firefox?) that pops up and says:
A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
Script: file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Owner/Application%20Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/zpa7gnx9.default/extensions/%7B635abd67-4fe9-1b23-4f01-e679fa7484c1%7D/components/nsYahooFileIO.js:26
Of course, the file name may be different, but it's the same warning. If I stop the script, it will continue. If I let the script continue, the computer just keeps sitting there and whirring and thinking FOREVER.
What is this, what does it mean and how can I stop it?
