Solve : Image Files Won't Show?

Answer»

Above is an example of my problem and as you can see, none of the image files appear and it's like this on every website plus where my desktop photo should be. This all started Monday afternoon when I was on a website that I have visited many times over the last 8+ years without a problem but a popup appeared and I couldn't click it off. I restarted my computer only to find a bunch of files including Trojans on my computer that brought in more popups and slowed everything down but I was able to clean them out eventually and now everything is working great.......but still no images. On the other hand, when I right click and hit "Show Picture" it comes right up. I've used Ad Aware, Spybot, Hijack This, Barracuda, Spyware Doctor, Windows Live, Housecall, Vundo Fix and FINALLY Defender Pro which is what cured what the others didn't...except for the LACK images of course. I also tried to defragment the computer and even tried re-installing Windows (XP) but to no avail.

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Thank You

update them all
reboot in safe mode
  rapidly tap f8 before windows loads
run Ccleaner first to clean out junk files
then run the other scans save any logs any post them here
along with an update on how your computer is doing

unlovedwarriorDefinitely do a clean-up with CCleaner (install without Yahoo! toolbar).  I'm willing to bet that it'll fix this problem for you.  Close all of your windows and run the Cleaner (be sure to include Temporary Internet Files) and Issues.

SiteAdvisor and SpywareBlaster will both make your internet browsing a LOT safer.

You should still scan with the other programs unlovedwarrior listed, just to be on the safe side.  If you do all of this and your problem still persists, we'll provide further instructions.Since malware often changes browser settings, it could be as simple as changing them back. If this is the only problem, that would be the first thing I'd check. Quote from: 2k_dummy on May 10, 2007, 06:07:07 AM

That did it! Thank you!

Thank to the others for their assistance as well. Those programs you guys advised are keepers!

THANKS again.Glad to hear it's sorted out.  Be sure to keep up with your updates and scans (also, remember to only one run of these programs at a time).  And stop by again if you need anymore help.The simple solutions are often overlooked. Apply KISS before getting drastic.
