A sign of virus, or something wrong with my internet browser?



Hi, I use microsoft internet explorer and I just discovered a couple of problems, which is making me think that there is a virus in my pc.
like: I start my browser and the font size it set to be largest (but I didn't chose it to?)
or when I go on yahoo, in the featured section, when I selection to read the next story, it takes me to the full stoy instead of showing me the summary first!?

could somebody plz tell me what's wrong!
it doesn't sound like a virus. have you recently installed something? Sometimes some programs can change Internet Explorer settings. If not, you should run a virus scan, just in case.
I dont tink this is a virus but the large font thing can be fixed by start < control panel < appearance and themes < display < appearance(top of window) <advanced.
Then search for one that makes it a large font and edit it back to normal.
The yahoo im not sure about (do a virus scan with whatever antivirus program you have - I recommend norton).
Do you have an antivirus program installed? If you don't and you go online frequently, I'm 99% certain your system will have been infected by now. Download, install and run an antivirus program to scan your system immediately.
The Big Font: OPEN IEXPLORER, SELECT VIEW, TEXT SIZE, MEDIUM. it should refresh the page with nice fonts
