G'day mike,

 

I removed your email address to save you a potential email spam issue.

 

as to your question, can you provide more info.

what OS, browser and plug-ins are we referring to?

[mikefarber]

i have firefox and chrome.

every few seconds - literally - an  Unresponsive Plugin  dialog box pops up.

i have no ideas as to plugins, but there must me many based upon the frequency of popups.

is there anything i can do or get that will fix this??

for Firefox, go into Tools (or hamburger icon), Add-ons, and tell us what is listed in Extensions and what's in Plugins.

or if you know the ones you don't want, in Extensions, Remove/Disable the ones you can and in Plugins, either change the setting to Never Activate or make sure you have the latest versions of them all (especially Flash and java plugins)

 

same principal for Chrome (hamburger icon, Settings, Extensions)

You could be running different plugins ("extensions") which aren't fully compatible with each other, meaning some could be doing more-or-less some of the same things.

 

As an example of two plugins that aren't fully compatible with each other are:

Avira Browser Protection, and uBlock Origin.
