the back, forward, refresh and stop buttons are greyed out, and saved passwords don't work. Cannot move back and forth. Yet, history is still present, and the shortcut buttons to e-mail, etc. still work. I jsut have to enter all the passwords each time. Also, I can't move from an e-mail web message directly back to my inbox. Settings in tools>options all appear correct.

virus/bot, maybe?
