How do I fix this pop up error?
I just recently received an email from what I thought was a friend. Attached was a rather funny video clip from youtube, but after the video was through, my computer started getting this little window pop up. It just says "Internet Explorer Script Error" and asks if I want to continue running scripts on this page. It does it EVERY DAMN MINUTE! I have never seen this and dont know how to get rid of it. For some reason my computer does not have any System Restore Points, I dont know why. Anyone have any ideas?? Thanks!

Method 2: Test a Web page from another user account, another browser, and another computer
Use another user account, another browser, or another computer to view the Web pages that triggered a script error to determine whether the problem persists. If the script error persists, there may be a problem with the way the Web page is written. You can probably ignore the error and disable script debugging as described in method 1.
If the script error does not occur when you view the Web page from another user account, browser, or computer, the problem may be caused by files or by settings on your computer. Go to method 3 to continue to troubleshoot.
