My kids managed to screw up two of my computers by visiting a certain BMX site. The problem is, I am unable to view certain graphics. Some sites work fine, but others are totally fragged. I've run AVG virus scan, AdAware, Spybot S&D and Registry Mechanic, all to no avail.

Anyone have any suggestions? :bang:

What type of graphics can't you view? Is it something as simple as the file type association in windows?

Some simple images, and some animations.

I just discovered that everthing seems to work okay when using Opera, but the problems persist with Firefox and IE. I also noticed that this site runs much faster with Opera than with Firefox. Hmmmm.

Evidently, it was some spyware that was missed by the aforementioned programs. I ran the Comcast provided program and that caught it.
