Every time I'm browsing sites such facebook, orkut, etc the pages to be opened are always smaller than the previous ones to the point I can't see the page anymore and I need to scroll. What is the problem? is it a virus or else. Thank you for your response.

I have been having the same problem for a couple of days. I have been getting around the problem by clicking the button to the left of the red X to close (sorry I'm using a French version so I don't know the exact name for button). Anyway, this reduces the window size and then I click again to full size and the page is back to normal. Obviously, this is not a solution, but it lets me work until I find the solution. I was googling hoping to find a solution when I found your post. I only found one posted solution which was to reset Internet Explorer settings to default which I'd rather avoid because a) I haven't touched the setting recently so I doubt it will help and b) This would remove my google toolbar and I'd have to deal with reinstalling that. I agree with you it seems like a virus. If you find the answer, it would be wonderful if you posted it.

I have experienced exactly the same problem and would love to know how to fix it. I did notice on another computer that it simply went away after a while... Obviously that is not a working solution either. If you have solved the problem since you posted this query please share. Thx
