When online I keep getting error messages which i think relate to java script.

When using firefox, if I try opening a new web page / clicking on any links etc. I often get the following error messages pop up with a '!' in a yellow triangle: Exc in ev handl: TypeError: oSAPlg.oRoot.log is not a function Exc in ev handl: Error: Bad NPObject as private data! The problem does not go away when I restart - I have to shut down - often the problem still persists even then. I am very worried about this, can anyone please help me to get rid of it?

Please see solution in http://kb.mozillazine.org/Problematic_extensions for "McAfee Site Advisor".

(Windows): For best results you should uninstall McAfee Site Advisor from Control Panel > add/change programs (Programs and Features). Reboot the system. Then Reinstall from http://www.siteadvisor.com/ and reboot the system. When installing refuse other suggested (crapware) applications.


Please mark "Solved" one answer that will best help others with a similar problem -- hope this was it.

hi there, thank you for your reply. I'm afraid i'm not terribly au fait with pc jargon - so find it tricky enough trying to understand these help pages! when i looked in programs and features i couldn't see the mcafee site advisor to uninstall - only mcafee security itself and mcafee virtual technician. please help!
