IE Won't Work, AIM and Firefox Work Fine.. Virus?

I am an employee of Residential Networking at my college. We are all stumped as to why we are getting an influx of machines in our office loaded with a virus that only affects Internet Explorer. AIM and Firefox work fine on these systems. We've been telling students to make the switch to Mozilla as a temporary solution. Has anyone ever heard of this happening? Does anyone know what virus or exploit this is?

Not to state to obvious but have you tried running an AV update followed by a scan? Possibly spyware also.

But hey, IMO sounds like a good virus. Make them switch to FF!
