Default My IE fonts got BIG?!?

Sometime yesterday the font on just about every website got BIG. I have no idea how to fix it or why it happened in the first place. Anyone else have this happen to them?

In IE, use "view" and "text size"

Yes. Once just recently. I suspect a bit of malicious javascript from some rotten site. Doesn't seem to affect sites that use style sheets, only those without. Annoying but fixable.

actually, what happens on occassion, is you are scrolling with your mouse and if you hit CTRL and scroll, then the text size will go from smallest to largest or back to smallest again depending on the direction of the scroll.

There must be a keyboard shortcut as well. My cat has changed the text size by walking on the keyboard! This is why I know how to change it back. The Girlie sites are a totaly different issue

some versions of IE have problems like this a lot, off standard JS. I upgraded and my browser stopped doing it.
