Can anybody help me? I've been getting this message :

"A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive. Do you want to abort the script?"

I got this message in these places : Yahoo messenger, Windows live messenger, internet explorer, control panel, and program files.

Please help!

Hello and welcome to Techspot.

Try this.

Common script errors messages can be eliminated by Clicking:
1. Open Internet Explorer.
2. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
3. In the Internet Options dialog box, click Advanced.
4. Click to select the Disable script debugging check box.
5. Click to clear the Display a notification about every script error check box.
6. Click OK.

Regards Howard

If that doesn`t work,this from HERE

There are situations when a Web page contains script that takes an unusually long time to run.
There will be a warning message after a certain number of statements has been processed.

The solution is to increase the default number of statements,before the warning is given


1.Go to Start/Run/type :regedit

Open this key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\Styles

(If the Styles key is not present, create a new key that is called Styles.)

2.Right click anywhere in the right pane and create a new DWORD value called "MaxScriptStatements"
(copy and paste that in to the name box) and set the value to the desired number of script statements.

Try 8,000,000 to start with.

Be careful editing the registry.Back up the key first.

both solution don't work...

That`s fine, your HJT log is clean.

You can uninstall Prevx1 now if you want along with the rest of the stuff you downloaded in the instructions.

Here are the programmes I recommend you keep/install. I know you already have already some of these.

Spybot Search & Destroy.

Ad-Aware se personal.

Spyware Blaster.

AVG Antispyware.

Ccleaner.

If you have any further virus/spyware problems, please post in this thread.

thanks...
but the message is still showing...

That`s a shame, obviously it`s not a malware problem as your system is now clean.

I have therefore moved your thread to our windows OS forum. Hopefully, someone will know how to solve your IE problem there.

If you get desperate HERE are 15 alternatives to Windows Explorer until you find a solution.

Firefox could replace IE as well.

@Po`Girl
Still doesn't work...
Actually I rarely use IE. But because my Yahoo Messanger show that message too, I cannot use it now. And when I opened a folder filled with picture files (thumbnail view), the message also showed..

Please help!

@howard_hopkinso
Thanks for helping me remove the trojan.

Are you hinting it might be the old "image preview problem" -
when Windows tries to show thumbnails of image and video files,
but crashes Explorer in the process.?

There aren`t usually any warning messages with that, though.

Anyway the usual fix is to turn off image previews -

Go to Start/Run/and type - regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll click OK.

to turn them on again(if you want to) regsvr32 shmedia.dll

There are other methods HERE and a download fix for .avi files HERE


I don`t know if that`s connected to the script warning problem.

thanks.
But please help with the IE problem. Have you seen the screenshots I've attached?

Internet Explorer and Windows Explorer are basically the same thing.

If you fix one,you also fix the other.

These are my last hopes -

1.Download CCleaner and run it.

Make sure all the boxes are checked in both the Windows and Applications settings.
Also use the Issues tool.

2.Go into IE/Tools/Options/Security/Custom and uncheck all java script/active scripting boxes,
any other likely suspects.

3.Use the IE Repair Tool or reinstall IE (6) HERE

4.Uninstall IE roll back to a previous version (if you have a previous version) then
reinstall IE.HERE

5.If you have any convenient System Restore points,try that.

6.Uninstall any programs that were installed just before the problem started.

None of them worked... Is this problem is unfixable exept reinstalling this windows?

As you had a lot of spyware removed could be something
is still on there or it broke something.Try system filechecker.
Its only thing you haven`t tried.
