WTF Happened to my browser

When I open up my browser, 75% of the sites I go to look like this:

Am I a total idiot?

are you running some type of ad removal software?

I had adblock on, but I am having this problem even when I turn it off, and in IE.

Also, sometimes when I click a link, the only thing that displays is a gif file and I have to reload.

i'm having this EXACT same problem! also some images will not show up, like if i google movie times, next to movies they have a star rating system. none of the stars show up, they look like corrupt images or something, they just will not load.

anyone, please help! i'm using zonealarm, but it happenes even when i turn it off. i also use avg free.

this definitely sounds like it is a problem that is specific to Zone Alarm...

one thing i would try, that might help eliminate some stuff is just try uninstalling Zone Alarm and removing its traces completely and see if the problem still happens.

i have seen this problem quite a few times here and it seems that the person is always running the evil ZA.

Looks like no images are loading.

Only thing I can think of is:

Tools menu -> Options -> Content

Make sure Load Images is checked.

That is all I know.
