I've been experiencing some problems with IE7 this past week. Some pages that I visit, IE will display a string of Bs about 10-20 of them on the top left of the page window(Not the title bar where the title of the page is displayed). Sometimes it will display the string of Bs followed by junk symbols or ASCII codes. This happens randomly to any page that I visit.
Here are a few things that I did to try and fix the issue.
Any advice is appreciated!
Here are a few things that I did to try and fix the issue.
- I've used numerous virus scanners such as Avast, AVG, Norton and McAfee. Tried different online AVs too including Kaspersky, PC-Cillin and Panda.
- I've tried different spyware/trojan scanners including Spybot, CWShredder, Lavasoft etc. but to no avail. At most all they've given me is that I have some tracking cookies since I have cookies enabled for some pages.
- I've tried the two above methods while in safe-mode.
- I've scanned the other computers in the network using the three above methods but still no luck.
- I've uninstalled IE7 and reverted back to IE6 but still, the same issue occurs.
- I've installed FireFox to my dismay. It was fine for a few days but now FF also displays the same string of Bs which led me to believe that it really is something in my system that has been eluding me.
Any advice is appreciated!
