blasting jesus Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Hi everyone everytime i open the msn window from the system tray i get a script error (Internet Explorer script error : An error has occured in the script on this page.....) I did a little search on the internet and found out some things but nothing worked for me. I also searched for possible infections but i 'm clean. I'll give you a hint: Before this error i installed the mvps host program. I don't if there is any relation between these two , but i mention it.

Tarq57 Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Tried disabling the hostsfile? Seems to me that would be the first, or most obvious troubleshoot step. Hostsman is a rather good program to control and update same, BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blasting jesus Posted January 21, 2008 Author Share Posted January 21, 2008 I disabled the HOSTS file and everything is ok now. Is there any way that i could use it without the messenger being affected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spysnake Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 Yep, I have the same "problem" and it's occurring because the HOSTS file has entries which block various messenger-related ads. Notice that the banner is gone at the bottom of the window? You can just press No, or if irritated by that message, you can also manually go trough the HOSTS file and remove entries related to messenger-ads. They are something like ads.live or ads.msn. Personally, I just don't care as I log into service once a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
