How can I get my laptop to stop running scripts on a certain page?
I log onto facebook a message pops up saying: "A script on this page has cause Internet Explorer to run slowly. Do you want to continue running this script?" I click no and it just keeps on popping up and freezing the page. How do I get it to stop running scripts?
I use internet explorer 8

Stop using Internet Explorer is a good start. Then download Firefox and use their Script Blocker ap. Also, using a second antivirus program such as AVAST is highly recommended as a backup to your chief antivirus program (if you have McAfee, that is just about useless in my estimation and you might want to think about Webroot).

Facebook shouldn't be doing that, you probably have spyware. I recommend downloading Spybot ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)) It should clean a bunch of stuff off your system. After you do, run the immunize part of it, and it will block some of the bad scripts that are likely to cause problems on facebook and other pages as well.

If you use Firefox instead, you can make use of extensions which can block scripts on certain pages but not on others.
If you must use Internet Explorer, you can go into the Tools and change the Security settings to block scripts. The problem is that you'll have to block them across the board, and sometimes you WANT scripts to run on certain pages. Really, the best thing to do would be to download and use Firefox instead.
