Since this morning I have a problem. Some images(not all) are not loaded throught many websites. They look like this(this one's from fb):

enter image description here

Same problem happens in chrome and firefox.

I did a scan with Malwarebytes and it found some infections which I deleted, but the problem is the same. I don't use any addons(had adblock but disabled it), and since the problem persists in firefox, too...

  • What AV do you use

  • If you don't use an AV program then how do you know you don't have a virus? Does the same issue also occur in IE? Load IE up in safe mode. And do you use AdBlock with both Chrome and Firefox?

  • How should I remove it? Can they install themselves just like that and screw my images? Adblock only in chrome. Safemode IE seems to work. Feb 4, 2014 at 8:26
  • Actually, the virus comment was more of a general question/comment.

Try to get back configuration on IE like this:

Open the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box. To do this, use one of the following steps. - Close all Internet Explorer and Explorer windows that are currently open. Start Internet Explorer.

  • Note If you are running Windows 8.1 or Windows 8, start Internet Explorer from the desktop. Changing your settings will affect both Internet Explorer and Internet Explorer that you start from the desktop.

  • On the Tools menu, tap or click Internet options. If you don't see the Tools menu, press Alt.

  • In the Internet Options window, tap or click the Advanced tab.
  • Tap or click Reset. If you're using Windows Internet Explorer 6, click Restore Default.
  • In the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box, tap or click Reset.

  • Note Select the Delete personal settings check box if you also want to remove browsing history, search providers, Accelerators, home pages, Tracking Protection, and ActiveX Filtering data. When Internet Explorer finishes applying the default settings, tap or click Close, and then tap or click OK. Exit and then start Internet Explorer.

I would guess this is due to an AV; many anti virus programs include an Anti-banner function/module.

Or it's a browser plug-in. I know you said you don't have any addons, but start the browser in safe mode and see if that solves it. If so, you need to see if you actually do have any addon's (and that may be you didn't realise they were there) and disable each add-on one by one until you find the culprit.

You don't have any AV (for what ever reason) so may be some thing installed itself (virus/malware/other) without your permission... Just because you ran a Malware bytes scan doesn't mean it's defiantly going to pick up this issue, especially if the AddOn isn't actually doing any harm (ie, if it's blocking banners)

  • I don't use any AV. Feb 4, 2014 at 8:24
  • I have only Google docs and adblock, and they are disabled. Feb 4, 2014 at 8:32
  • I said earlier that it did solve the problem in SM. But how do I disable them if there are only 2 of them and they are already disabled? Which AV should I use? Feb 4, 2014 at 8:34
  • I don't think you are disabling them, if you were then the safe mode shouldn't work! Or, it's a cache issue... Delete your cache and see if that helps. As for what AV, you need to do your own research, I'm not your shopping advisor.
