When I am using IE6 a Explorer check box keeps popping up
with the following message: "Scripts are usually unsafe.
Do you want to allow script to run? Yes or NO". I select Y
and all is ok but how can I stop this box from popping up?

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

Download and install, then you *MUST* update the programs 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 both SpyBot and Adaware,
as what one does not detect the other may. It is important that you do all
the steps and follow all directions carefully:

IMPORTANT:
Before trying to remove spyware using the programs below, download a copy of
LSPFIX from the URL below - some malware may kill your internet connection
when it is removed, this program will enable you to regain your connection.
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm

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.

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"

Most of what it lists will be harmless or even required, so DO NOT fix
anything yet.

Are you sure that is what the dialogue box states? said:

would say Scripts are usually *SAFE*....etc."

If it says exactly what you've written, then there is something wrong, like
parasites and the like. Why a parasite would suggest that scripts are unsafe
goes against conventional wisdom though. Unless it is some scam to install a
bogus scanner and then say you've got this or that "parasite".... buy this
program to "fix" it or something like that.

IF on the other hand, the dialogue display is as I have written; e.g.
scripts are usually *safe*, then the fix is as follows: IE Options>security
tab>custom level>Disable Active Scripting (what I do); OR Enable Active
Scripting. Risky, but if that's what you want, it's your PC.

Also, you might wish to follow the recommendations posted by Jan inasmuch as
you may have pests and the like. You should perform such measures as a
matter of course.
