            Internet explorer reeks of potential viruses. Are you using AV? If so, which one?

              Internet explorer sucks, but it's not a virus.

              But Firefox is better, and it's a free download. You can get it at firefox.com

                I meant that it makes one more likely to find and get viruses...

                    Definitely scan the system for malware, especially looking for BHOs. Unless someone was fiddling with OS settings below the typical user interaction level, this problem shouldn't have occurred all by itself.
