When using Adshield ( pop up... & la la la..... blocker) I experienced this 
browser error but only on pages I had written..... BUT all had 3rd party 
javascripted hit loggers and click throughs.....

Problem: Script error or script debugger messages.

Probable Cause: Harmless script error/debugger messages may occur when 
AdShield blocks a scripted pop-up ad or the download of an entire ad 
script. This usually happens when a poorly-coded ad script attempts to open 
a pop-up window and then manipulate it without checking to see if the 
pop-up was actually created. We recommend simply clearing the checkmark 
next to "Display a notification about every script error" on the Advanced 
tab of the browser's Internet Options dialog (accessible from the Tools 
menu). You can always double-click the little warning icon in the lower 
left corner to display the script error messages, if necessary. If you have 
a script debugger installed, you may also be prompted to debug these script 
errors. In this case I'd simply select "Disable script debugging" on the 
Advanced tab of the browser's Internet Options dialog when you're not 
developing web pages with scripts.

adding the URLs to the exclude list achieved nothing, an uninstall of the 
package and reboot did...

For "normal" browsing without the error dialogue active this would not be 
an issue but if you are proofing pages the false negatives can be a real pain!
