Very tiny font in some webpages

Question

Hi- I'm not sure if this is the right place to discuss this...please redirect me if necessary...   Some webpages that I view all of a sudden are very hard to read.  For example, the login page for hotmail.com is very clear on the left  but the box where you log in- the fonts are so small that I can hardly read them.  This is also true on my bank website for my bill pay pages...but not on other pages of the same site and the site is fine on other computers.   Could this be a virus?  Are my settings bad?  I don't know what's going on.   Thanks!

Are you using Internet Explorer as your Browser? If so open Internet Explorer and go to the View Tab at the top>Text Size and select a larger text.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!  That was driving me nuts for the longest time and even stumped Dell support.  Someone there told me it was probably a virus!!!  I'm so glad it was that easy to fix!!  Thank you aps@sun!!!
