I've had many problems over the last week with various random users saying they cannot view some of my websites. Finally today I've figured out that the cause of the problem is a program called Spyware Doctor. It takes regular javascript code and totally ****s it up and causes pages to not display at all.

So, a warning to everyone here, do not bother with Spyware Doctor and be careful of the security programs you do install as they are starting to do more harm than good.

Note to Norton Internet Security users - this is almost as bad and also causes more harm than good to the average internet user, stay away from this as well.
