constantly repeating script errors

I have XP, juno 5.0, and IE 6. I'm getting constantly
repeating script error messages when I first sign on the
internet(Juno homepage). Here's what I've tried: current
spybot and Norton scans, updated directx, windows, and
internet explorer with service packs, disabled script
debugging, hardware acceleration, and smooth scrolling,
unchecked the box "display a notification for every
script error", uninstalled any odd looking programs, and
ran a repair of internet explorer through the add/remove
programs screen, set the internet options to remove any
cookies or temporary files every time I close the
internet down, ran sfc/ scannow, and lessened the amounts
of colors used (heard that might have something to do
with it). Any ideas? Spybot did turn up something that
said common hijacker and possible hijacker located
somewhere in the registry (hkey_local...) but it wouldn't
delete them like it would the others. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
 
Hi Dave :-)

It is likely you have adware, malware, or hijackware on your system causing
the problem, which your antivirus will not detect, as it does not have the
same definitions.

Try this and see if it helps.

Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions

Then download and install, then you *MUST* update the AdAware prior to
running
to be sure they have the latest definitions, then run the programs below.
They are free and very effective. Be sure to run Adaware, as what SpyBot
did not find, Adaware may, and they have different definitions. It is
important that you do all the steps and follow all directions carefully:

It is important that you run the programs in the order that they are listed
here. The first three programs will clear your machine of all other items so
that you can have a clear HiJackThis Log for the experts to read and analyze
for you.

(NOTE: If you can not download these programs from the Internet, if your PC
has CD read capabilities, go to another computer with CD-ROM burning
capabilities. Create a folder on the hard drive of the other computer called
HOLD, download the programs to that folder, then burn that folder to a CD.
Copy the HOLD folder to your HD and then install the programs from there
and run them. After you have IE access again, update all programs where
possible to get the latest definitions and run them again to be sure there
are no lingering items on the system.

Go to

or

and download HiJackThis. Unzip to a folder other than your Desktop or the
Temp folder, doubleclick HiJackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button. Press that, save the log some place you remember where it is.
Most of what it lists will be harmless or even required, so DO NOT fix
anything yet.

Open the copy of your log in NotePad and make a copy. Then you can go here

Thanks! I think this might have done it. I just
unchecked the enable 3rd party browser and loaded
cwshedder and that took care of it. I also loaded
adaware for good measure. Thaks for the tip!
