Interesting. I never go there, and almost alway use Firefox for my browser.

Works fine for me in Firefox. Does not in IE7 for me either. I see exactly what you're describing. So, I'm not sure it was malware related, though it coincides with the infection.

I'm thinking it may be a Flash Player issue, or something else blocking images.

It has been suggested to Uninstall the existing flash player, and then install the latest

I tried, and still no go for me.

Ask for help in the IE forum, and let me know what they come up with. In the meantime, install Firefox.

I'll keep digging also, since I can't stand not knowing.

As far as your earlier question goes, whatever you feel comfortable with donating is perfect. Every little bit helps keep the forum free for all.
