Re: Some images displayed while others are not .....Help!

Hello Jan,

I know they are very busy, there is a link on the thread where I posted my
HJT log that tells you that if you dont get a response to your problem after
3 days or more to notify them in another thread. This problem has to be
caused by some type of malware, maybe something so new nothing is detecting
it yet, as I have tried using MSN explorer and Netscape and I have the same
problem with them as well so what ever is causing this to happen is not
isolated to just Internet Explorer.
