Tech question - my browser font is FUBAR

[Raging Turtle]

Well, maybe not FUBAR, but annoying.

I had a virus the other day on my netbook, one of those takes takes over your browser and sends you about 20 messages a minute about how your computer is infected and you need to buy XXX virus protection.  Anyway, I was able to use ad-aware to knock it out (by making sure ad-aware loaded before the virus on a reboot, whch tried it's hardest to prevent ad-aware from starting up, that was a little tricky), but I had to reset IE in order for it to play nice with my wireless again after I killed the virus.

Since I've reset IE, my browser font is different (smaller is the main problem) and besides being hard to read on an already-small netbook screen, it's screwing up some the format of some websites - nytimes.com, for example, is all fucked up.  It's also *possible* that I did some weird unintentional click that did something when I wasn't paying attention, and it wasn't actually the IE reset, but I don't know what that might be. 

I've gone to tools -> internet options -> font, but that doesn't affect it.  It's not the text size either, it was on normal before and it still is now.  Any ideas?

Before someone else chimes in; is there a reason that you need IE for your browser?

Which IE are you using?

[Raging Turtle]

I'm using IE 8.  I don't have to use IE, but if there's a simple fix I'd rather do that than downloading Firefox and getting used to a new browser.

Have you zoomed the text out?

That was it!  Thank you.

This board is awesome for those  situations.
