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?

Re: IE Won't Work, AIM and Firefox Work Fine.. Vir

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!
