Is There Any Way To Stop Scripts?

[joko]

is there any way to stop scripts running, before the little message comes up with a check box?

sometimes the computer behaves in such a way that i know one of these is going to appear , but it takes ages - is there anything i can do to bypass that and stop it instantly?

or any way to stop them from happening ? it driving me mad!

thanks

You have put this in Jobs & Education, Joko.

have you run a malware/anti virus scan?

I sometimes get Shockwave Flash player misbehaving on other websites which is a pain in the tonsils.

Sometime it takes ages because the CPU is running at 100% - on mine it happens with the flash player plug in. I just end the process in task manager.

oops, sorry,meant to put it in technology - can it be moved please admin?

[joko]

thanks

how do i end it in task manager? i thought that just ended stuff i was consciously using? how would i know what was causing it?


i have run scans etc, malwarebytes and avg full security and clean up software, glary, etc - and it still does it often.

i will probably wipe the machine soon i think, and start again

ive tried a few of the firefox add ons but they seem to make the computer go weird

This is all I can find at the moment, not ideal but worth a try.

i have just reset firefox to factory settings, which so far seems to have helped, dont know how long for though

For Firefox there is Noscript http://noscript.net/

Initially there will be a little bit of work for you to set what's allowed and what's blocked in order for your regular sites to work as you might want.

Perhaps I should add that NoScript is generally accepted to be one of the best add-ons for security, as well as stopping annoyances.
