Title: Warning: Unresponsive script
Post by: Barb711 on May 23, 2013, 05:27:24 AM
Hello Hello...I'm back again with Unresponsive script warning.
Feel quite embarrassed about it.  I hope you don't mind helping me
with it again.....please
I've noticed the past several weeks, it is taking my computer a lot longer
to load pages/sites.  Sometimes it freeze a bit, and then I get the little gray box:
Warning:  Unresponsive script
Is there any way I can stop it...again?
I am using Outpost Firewall 2009 (works great! - thanks to you!)
Avast!....SUPERB!
I use Windows XP, and normally use Mozilla Firefox 21.0
I also have the following programs installed on my computer:
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
Spybot Search & Destroy
Regcure
SpywareBlaster
CCleaner
AdwCleaner - v2.003

hey barb711 could you provide a picture of that unresponsive script for us.

spybot is a waste of space and can't keep up with todays malware, you don't need it when you have malwarebytes antimalware on your computer.

im not sure about regcure thought. im not 100% sure but it could be a rought program. hope someone else can give some light on this pogram.

Everything is says in the little gray box is below (I'm sending pic too).

Warning:  Unresponsive script
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.
(gives me "Continue" & "Stop script" buttons to click on)

I checked, and those two boxes are ticked already.
I think I ticked them last time I came here with this problem (several months ago).
But they are ticked...and problem is ongoing :(

Do you have Java installed Barb ?   

Clear Cache/Temp Files
Download TFC by OldTimer (http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/TFC.exe) to your desktop

It shows me on Mozilla Firefox that I have Java installed but disabled.
The following shows as it reads:

Extensions:
Java Quick Starter 1.0 (disabled)
Plugins:
Java Deployment Toolkit 6.0.390.4  6.0.390.4 (disabled)
Java(TM) Platform SE 6 U39  6.0.390.4 (disabled)

I downloaded and ran TFC by Old Timer, then rebooted computer.
Then I came here to post.

I thought I would add, that I just came from the FaceBook website.  When I clicked to log-out, it took a good minute or more before it would do anything.  Then it showed me the FaceBook home, which appears after you log-out.  And then a small gray window popped up:

Warning: Unresponsive plugin
Shockwave Flash may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the plugin now, or you can continue to see if the plugin will complete.
      Continue    -     Stop plugin


First time I have ever had that warning.
Just thought I would let you know.

Well, my computer seems to be running a bit better.  I think I need to do a defrag and it may run even better.
I'll give it a try for a while.
Thank you for your help.
I'll be back if I get another Warning: Unresponsive script
Thank you so very much for helping me.
God gives us each a special gift, and I can see what gift He gave you :)
