i have a computer like this now... has a virus but nothing obvious like malware or what not... but every time i change it to show pic's, log out, relog back to that account, it is changed back again. ran hijackthis and didnt help, tried installing avg/malwarebytes/and a few others but wouldnt let me because had so many missing files... firefox worked and it was running ie6, upgrading/reinstalling to ie7 or just using firefox probably would do the trick
