    Okay...so the other day my gf was downloading a codec on the website and it gave her a virus, SmitFraud...after a day of looking on the web and researching I was able to get rid of the SmitFraud virus as well as other ones that came along with the codec.

    But now some of her webpages are completely messed up and don't align right. Sometimes the font is extremely big when the font size is set to normal (look at pics) We've tried a system restore, reinstalling flash, java, internet explorer, registry fix...etc.

    Youtube
    Should be centered and smaller font on normal

    Facebook
    Completely messed up

    I was wondering if anyone knew what the problem is or how to solve it

    Easiest solution: Leave IE and get Firefox 3. :D

    Firefox 3 refuses to open? What error does it give? Which OS and security software do you use?

    How about Opera/Safari? Any luck?
