Anyone know where the following script message would originate and what it means?...'Stop running this script? A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly. If it continues to run, your computer may become unresponsive.' Then I have a Yes/No button option Any ideas? Ta Muchly.

Using the 'Fix it' wizard, here, should solve the problem. (Sorry, I've not used it myself, so I can't tell you how user-friendly it is for someone with a visual impairment):

It can mean something like a large ad is trying to download - it happens occasionally on AB. Or rather it did before I upgraded IE

I always pressed 'no' with no bad effects that I know of

Many Thanks Chris for the link. I did have a quick look last night and I'll try and have a go, in spite of the unintelligible terminology...to me at any rate...but in the meantime, I'll do as Dzug and hit the No button option. Do you think there could be anything 'sinister' behind this script i.e. someone after personal info?
Nothing sinister, just a fact of life when using IE. I know it's been said many times before, but for an easier life try Firefox.
I've always selected 'yes'. Chances are I'm not aware missing anything important by not having received this download, so why would I want it slowing my PC down ? These things should time out on their own.

Many Thanks Plautus and OG...I will go with the Yes option then.
