I think I might be having Java problems...

I'm dealing with a clever Trojan as we speak that ... among other things ... affects Java.

Time for a virus scan!

I've scanned with - guess how many - 5 of the top-notch anti-virus programs! This is driving me insane!

Which Trojan was it for you?

I have downloaded the latest Java, out today or yesterday, and it still doesn't work. Only on this IPB things don't function properly.

No help?

My freind's PC crashed due to a trojan virus so be careful!!

What browser do you use?

I used them all: IE, Firefox, Opera... They all show some kind of an error in the HTML code which says that e.g. open/close fast reply is undefined.

If you created another USERID, would this also happen for that one?

Have you run a cleaner, like CCleaner (free, great), just to clear out EVERYTHING cookie/history/etc. related?

Sorry to be suggesting stuff you have probably tried. But this seems to be Sylph-specific, since no one else is apparently having these problems...so it seems to be a local issue related to you.

No, I haven't tried this. When I put a cursor on Fast Reply, the status bar shows: java script:ShowHide('qr_open';'qr_closed'); And Web Developer Toolbar shows that there are errors on the page.

Have you tried doing the things listed on the page below?

Javascript is different from Java. I asked what browser you used because when I was using the NoScript extension with Firefox I had the same problems.

Thank you, Rhiannon, for trying to help! I haven't checked the listing before, but now that I did — all JavaScripts are turned on. The thing I just don't get is that it's only this Invision Power Board I have a problem with. And weirdly with all browsers I tried.

NoScript is a Firefox add-on?

Yes there's a NoScript add on for FF and it's supposed to help with making browsing more secure and faster or something, I had to quit using it because it did things like making boards hard to use and etc.

I wish I knew of something that could help.

Do you perhaps know a support forum that deals with these issues? This is just mind-boggling and infuriating at the same time!

And is there a way to "re-install" JavaScript? This is probably a dumb question.

I tried googling to see if there's a way ti re-install it but didn't see anything. I have these forums bookmarked and have used them for spyware help, they also help with other computer problems too.
