  • Which browser are you using maybe worth trying it with Firefox or Chrome could be a fault with the site, if your using IE, try resetting the browser.

    Silver cog top right hand side, then Tools, Internet Options, Then Advanced Tab then Reset. Reload the page.

    I am using Firefox Would it be worth trying Chrome or IE ? It is this script message that is a nuisance as well as the time it takes to load I will try Chrome and see how it is Thanks for responding Sue

    First, I'd make sure you don't have any malware installed that causing problems by running a scan with your antivirus, with MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware and with adwCleaner.

    Otherwise, you may have a problem with an add-on or plug-in. You can try disabling them all to see if the problem goes away.

    If not, your Firefox profile may have been corrupted. Open a command prompt and type "firefox -p" to load the profile manager and create a new profile to test (whilst keeping your existing one safe).
