Any computer guys here???

I need some help guys. Everytime I go to autotrader.com, I can't see ANY pictures. All I see is a red box! And I don't mean that tiny little box with a red x in the corner, I mean the entire size of the picture is just the color red. Any help would be awesome, this is driving me crazy!

Did you use it? Instead of Internet Exploder?


Because FireFox doesn't show red X's...

Ok are you saying where an image should be it is completely red or there is a red X as large as the picture, or the tradiontial red x at the top left corner ?

Can you post a screen shot?

If this is happening in ALL browsers, IE, FF, SAFARI, ETC. I can only think you have a high setting on you Anti-virus, firewall, etc. Have you installed any new software like a tune-up or ad-ware cleaner etc? This is odd, but it seems all your images are being replaced.

Try right clicking the red background.. Does it show any options?

Are you certain this happens in all Browsers? If you can narrow it down to one or the other we can work from there.

Try checking you security settings... Also, what version of IE are you using ?

A) You managed to install a program that blocks certain websites.

B) Your firewall is blocking the pictures as it thinks they are popups.

C) Somehow you hosts file got screwed with.

D) Your router is doing it.
