    Hello.

    Does anyone know if endless Script Error messages are caused by malware? I have run a few different virus scans and CCleaner. None of them found anything. On this site, the Script Error says "addthis is undefined."

    Background: Upgraded to Win 10 last week. Tried Edge but didn't like it so switched back to Internet Explorer. When I go online, I get a Script Error message for most sites, and have to click either Yes/No or X several times to get rid of it. Often that doesn't help and I usually end up having to use End Task to close down the browser.

    The links that appear often lead to ads. The most common is adadvisor, but once I click it away, other ad links appear such as adlegend.

    Has anyone used freefixer to get rid of adadvisor http://www.freefixer.com/b/remove-adadvisor-net-from-firefox-chrome-and-internet-explorer/ and if so, does it also get rid of other ad links that result in a Script Error message?

    I have IE (in “Advanced”) set to disable scripts on IE and everywhere else and to not repeat the Script Error message (sample pic attached; the links change each time and are always related to ad sites), but it still happens.

    TIA

    Hello, Laurie

    The Script Error messages as you describe suggest malware infection. FreeFixer isn't one of the tools we use and we also often find that a cleaning procedure is needed to remove all of the malware.

    Please perform the READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide if you wish help.
