pspuser007, I'm not sure what it would tell me by running Opera.
123Runner, I thought initially it was spyware or a virus also. I ran avg, malwarebytes, spybot s&d, superanti spyware. All are up-to-date and found nothing.
I also thought it maybe an add-on. So I disabled all add-ons and tried again, but with no success. But if this was the case, then it wouldn't have explained why I experience the same problem with IE.
