Largely ignorant of the details of JavaScript as a language, my guess---in case this makes sense---is a name collision. Maybe there is an addStatement method lurking in SiteAdvisor, When enabled, SiteAdvisor seems to apply to the page automagically. So even if you do nothing but visit the page, SiteAdvisor does whatever it does and adds to every hyperlink on the page a green or a red checkmark and some flyover stuff to sooth or warn you, as the case may be. So before PiggyBank runs, something has already been done to the page... (Thanks a lot, McAfee.... :-) ).
