The font in IE keeps setting itself to largest, I change it back and next time it's just at largest again. I've ran ad-aware and spybot, problem is still here.

Are you running Yahoo or MSN software or browser enhancers? When their on line updates mess up trying to update a real old version of their software, the large IE fonts is one of the resulting symptoms. Often this corruption occurs because the machine is/was infected with Spyware/Adware at the time.

Usually, removing these addon packages, cleaning up the system and removing any ADware and Virus type programs, then doing a REPAIR of IE through the Add/Remove Programs gets IE working again. Then you can re-install any of the package with the current version if you must have them.

I don't have any yahoo or msn software or anything like that. Like I said I've done adaware and spybot and the problem is still there, I will try the repair IE thing, (I didn't know it existed), and see if that helps.
