Internet Problem, Please Help.

While surfing the internet, When I type in certain pages I will get error messages, some times saying script error and sometimes just a bunch of garbled text like this

Can someone tell me what may be causing this? I have run spyware and virus programs but after running them the problem did not go away. I have also uninstalled reinstalled my browser softwares.

I am using AOL 8.0 and ATT Yahoo on a dsl line.

It is not every website and it is not certain websites all the time. This happens at different times.

Any help would be apprieciated.

Does it happen when you use Internet Explorer ? Or Firefox ? The AOL client is so unpredictable as to when it will throw an error.

I don't use Internet explorer, unless i have too and I don't have firefox. And I should point out that I don't use AOL except to check my mail but my wife does regularly and she is the one that first noticed this problem. I use the SBC Yahoo.

3 browsers for you, use whichever you like.
Firefox
Safari
Opera

When did Apple port Safari? This is news to me.

Opera is a bit lazy about complying with W3C standards. Safari is relatively new to Windows and doesn't have a Linux port (thus being unavailable to me 95% of the time). Firefox 2.0.0.12 is my preferred browser.

AOL's software is crap. Any of these will be five steps up.

OMG, you need to try Safari for Windows! It's like Firefox, except it doesn't slow down after a few hours.

You just have to hit "Clear Private Data" under the "Tools" menu in Firefox. Problem solved.

There's something about the Safari interface I don't like. I use Firefox in both XP and OS X.

I might like the next version of Safari. It doesn't seem quite there yet. I don't know what it is.

For a Mac user, that's really a lot of work.

I'll try to remember to give it a spin the next time I boot into Windows (read - the next time I get the urge to play a PC game other than Battle for Wesnoth or Ur-Quan Masters). Tomorrow? Next week? Next month? Who knows.

At least it doesn't crash, or freeze.

if you are an itunes user, Safari is a new checked off download.

Apple Is A Bad Windows Citizen

Posted by Dave Methvin, Mar 25, 2008 08:52 AM

Over the past week, Apple has been raked over the coals for its force-feeding of new applications through Apple Software Update. The "update" word there might lead you to believe that Apple would only use the utility to deliver updates to software you previously installed. Yet Apple also uses its "update" program to download software you never requested.

A thread at the Apple site shows some of the worst of Apple-fanboy behavior. If Microsoft tried to deliver, for example, an evaluation copy of Office 2007 through Windows Update, the industry and users would go into nuclear meltdown over the outrage. Yet the Apple regulars spend lots of time carefully parsing the English words in each Apple Software Update message and declare it to be no big deal that an updater tries to give you Safari even though you don't currently have it and didn't ask for it.

Perhaps Apple and its fans may feel comfortable about doing software distribution through the same aggressive techniques pioneered by Windows crapware makers. Maybe Apple felt like it should fit in with the crowd -- "when in Rome" and all that. If aggression and dirty tactics are the way to peddle Windows software, then darn it, Apple isn't afraid to throw an elbow. That's the way it works -- getting your software down on the user's system, no matter what the tactics.

Here's a conspiracy theorist's explanation. Apple makes a competing operating system and fights with Microsoft OEMs for the same hardware customers, so Apple may not be concerned that Windows users get a less-than-stellar experience. It's like Apple throwing a Baby Ruth into the pool while nobody is looking, then pointing and yelling, "Doody! What a horrible user experience! Buy a Mac!"

In some ways, Apple has cleaned up its act in the past year. It used to be that Apple's QuickTime download page offered a prominent download for the QuickTime-iTunes bundle but hid the QuickTime-only download in a tiny link further down the page. Today, both options get equal billing, although the bundle is still selected by default. The "please spam me" e-mail address entry is optional, although you wouldn't know it by reading the form.

Fortunately, there is a way to say "no, thanks" to Apple's unwanted software advances -- or at least get it to leave you alone for a while. When you get the Apple Software Update pop-up, check the items you don't want and click Tools, Ignore Selected Updates. You'll need to do that when the next "update" of the unwanted software arrives, too. That is a bit of a misnomer, of course, since they aren't really updates. But why argue semantics when you're trying to keep Apple's unwanted software off your system?

Sorry Will, never will want to use another mac product again.

I am going to give the go ahead on Opera and Firefox. Depending on your internet usage, you might like Flock.

Flock click to show

Periodically check out this TFP thread for Freeware. I have my own list in it too, because I don't use time wisely.

Anyone have any iders to my problem? I seem to recall having this same problem a few years ago and it being some kind of setting problem, I had something checked that shouldn't have been, that sort of thing.

As for a different browser I don't want to try one until I get this figured out.
