Question

regularly getting this message. what is it and what to do

Dec 31, 2014 3:00AM PST

I keep getting this message which stops my computer (desktop) from running.

Script: https://fbstatic-a.akamaihd.net/rsrc.php/v2/y2/r/ioRdkayDxH2.js:46

What is it? What do I need to do to fix the issue? And when I hit the 'de-******' option an entire page opens, there are several columns, on of which has code with an arrow to the offending line. I don't know what to do then. Can anyone help me? By the way, eventually, the machine starts running again but only until the next time the message appears.

Thank you.

That's where Facebook stores its pictures. It shouldn't be so slow as to trigger that error.

The easy solution is to stop using Facebook. But first I would try another browser (choose from Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer) and run Malwarebytes' Antimalware to check for malware.

Thanks Kees. I use Firefox as my browser and I have Malwarebytes Anti-Malware which I run regularly. I guess I should try another browser (Chrome?) and see if that helps. Again, thanks.
