But when I tried to reinstall them back one by one back to IE 11 where I had it, they would only download but not install... so after trying to work out what was going on I just did a complete format/reinstall of windows 7. Computers currently all setup with latest drivers and all and all seams to be running sweet.
I just took another look at speedtest.net to check my speeds and noticed the same thing with banners displaying Chinese text ? Check the link http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=kew3eo&s=8#.VE4ryGcfxD8
So im currently puzzeled to why it might be doing this... oh and before someone says 2 why u using ie11 get chrome blaaa... Ive always been happy with IE11 and never liked other browsers so don't intend on changing.
This post is basicly just to see if anyone else has seen this before or if anyone knows what it could be and how to fix possibly? I do have Microsoft essentails installed along with malwarebytes and also have pop-up blocker enabled in my IE11 settings.
Ive ran virus scans on everything and no virus or malware is picked up.

I've seen a thread elsewhere on the internet very similar to this, unfortunately I can't find it again now. One of the suggestions there was to try the browser in compatibility mode on the affected site.
When did it start happening, did it coincide with a Windows update or similar originally?

Erm it only seams to be happening when I visit speedtest.net website, all other websites I visit display banners normally. Ive added the site to compatibility mode but it don't change anything.
Take a look at these screens
Working banners display as normal on broadbandchecker.co.uk
Banners displaying Chinese text and not displaying correctly on speedtest.net
Maybe its some kinda fault with speedtest.net

Edit: I just changed to each of the three Chinese options with no change to the display.

Using either Waterfox x64 or IE 11 I get results similar to Mav i.e. an proper screen with adverts (when not blocked). However, what is worth noting is that some of the adverts on TORPC's screen shot are correct, so is anyone having these issues willing to view the source of the page to see what and where it references, then view these URLs on their own?
