About every 2 or 3 hours I get this popup "Stop running this script".
How do I stop this.
So what processes are listed in Task Manager? Is there still an
instance of iexplore.exe running? Just because an instance of the
browser is running doesn't mean there is a window for it. It is an old
trick to open a hidden instance of the browser so it can run a script
which uses a timer. However, a good popup blocker should catch opening
the instance of the browser whether it has a displayable window or not.
The popup would itself be a process so you could check in Task Manager
for it. It is possible that it is a thread of another process, but
checking that the processes that are listed and are legitimate and the
you investigate to know they should be running is a start. You can use
SysInternals' Process Explorer to dig into what child processes are
owned by what parent process.
So exactly what anti-malware programs have you used so far to scan your
computer for pests?
