Script Error pop-up may be an infection?

Today, after I ran CCleaner for the first time in months (with an older version because I didn't feel like updating it), I got this really strange Script Error pop up. It's still here, I haven't closed it.

I don't know what it means, but after Googling a bit, the only thread I found said that it was an infection and now I'm kinda spooked.

Any idea? Malwarebytes doesn't find anything. The forum I saw told the other guy to run AdwCleaner, so I did, and that also apparently found nothing.

 

Attached below is a screenshot of the script error pop-up. Please help!

This may be caused by a setting in Internet Explorer.

Script error messages are displayed by Internet Explorer when there is a problem with the JavaScript or VBScript code on the website you are viewing. Occasionally a script error can be caused by an error in downloading a webpage, but more often it is an error in the webpage itself.

Perform the steps to disable script debugging and then check if it helps.

a: Open Internet Explorer.

b: Click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.

😄 Click the Advanced tab, select the Disable script debugging Internet Explorer) and Disable script debugging (Other) check boxes.

d: Clear the Display a notification about every script error check box, and then click OK.
==

Let me know if the problem is solved.

Hi, thanks for the response. I tried to do what you said, but as soon as I opened up Internet Options and went to the Advanced Tab, everything you wanted me to do was already done, like so.

The Web site you were visiting has a script error.

Nothing to worry about.

If you have confidence in the site next time press Yes to continue.

I see. That's a relief, thank you! I should point out that I was using Firefox only. I hardly ever use Chrome and I never use Internet Explorer or MIcrosoft Edge. Would this error message still pop up if I was using Firefox?
