Your browser has problems with all the scripts that advertise at mangafox.com. Mangafox has extensive ads. Some try to upload all sorts of things. The ads help pay for the site and theyI have to use the add on no scripts, which makes your browser dang inconvenient with all the other sites I use. So I use IE to visit Mangafox. I end up having to do extensive work to normalize my computer up to and including reinstalling system software

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.just visit and mangafox and read some of their manga any of them will do
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
I am not sure that they install malware, 

Expected Results:  
your browser starts acting up and the computer slows down. Their is a help file that deals with this problem. It says that they don't up load malware but suggests the use of the ad on noscripts when browsing the various manga

I have a new computer with windows 7, the problems were with my Toshiba laptop with xp.

As a Windows user i cant navigate the Internet without an antivirus so here is what i got: avira antivirus personal edition+ad block plus and Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:12.0a2) Gecko/20120307 Firefox/12.0a2.

Navigating the site with or without ad block plus enabled offered me the same stable and normal experience. Some banners appeared when ad block plus was off(that is a normal thing) but nothing more. The antivirus did not report anything. So i was no able to reproduce this. 

Try with a new firefox version and of course check to see if you antivirus is up to date.
