HET forum "scripts issues"

When I go to an HET forum discussion page that someone wrote, my computer always temporarily freezes up and I get a message that states: "Stop running this script?" "A script on this page is causing Internet Explorer to run slowly, your computer might become unresponsive." Clicking "yes" to this question brings my computer back to life so to speak. Anyone else have this issue and any idea on how to prevent it? Thanks!

What version of IE are you using? I get that at work but we are still on IE8 which is oooooold.
Ah so you like antique cars AND antique computers. We try and keep current on software so we can keep up on bug patches to keep the bad guys out. You are probably suffering from both browser headaches but also operating systme issues. Looks like it came with XP. Still a decent OS but not a bad idea to put some things on your Christmas list.
Honestly, there are other considerations as well - not only age.
Most, when buying a PC, 'go with the flow' - i.e., whatever is on sale, a 'baseline' unit at best (read minimal specifications, lowest price). The saying 'you get what you pay for' applies here, 'in spades'.
When doing research, don't look at 'lowest' or baseline. Look for the best, biggest, fastest system, with the biggest & fastest H/D, and the most options and upgrades (i.e., bells and whistles). You may go with a 'lower end' model as your research progresses, but at least you'll be aware of what you're getting;
Think 'out of the box' - What about a 'tablet', or a tablet PC? Do I want or need a desktop anymore? If you want that PC to be tied to one room - maybe a desktop is for you.
*Careful* Some of the cheap systems offered are '32-bit' (i.e., old technology) - walk away. Any system you consider should be based on '64-bit' technology, which is fully supported by both Windows 7 and Windows 8. The OS will run on '32-bit', but why bother?
Pull out a pencil and paper, write down your 'wish list' of items - along with the make(s) and models
Once you've got an idea as to what you want in your PC -
And, don't forget those add-ons;
And then, comes warranty, extended warranty, and even an option for replacing the H/D if it goes bad (not always covered).
And - that does not often include anything other than the basic software, or just 'trial' versions of it.
*** don't forget anti-virus and malware software ***

Off-the-cuff... Probably left a lot off/out, but you get the idea.
