What does it mean...

[April]

...when you click onto a thread full of gifs and little black boxes start jumping all over the screen?

Is my 'puter about to take a crap?

eesh. What renders the video in your computer? I do believe a part of your computer is. The part that lets you see things.

I can see the gifs posted just fine, but when I click onto ANY thread with gifs, my screen goes nutzo with thumbnail type boxes all over my screen...

Reboot the PC and then see if it still does it.

You could disable thumbnails.

You said "black" boxes, though. Like Mike said, definitely reboot.

Clean out your history. Run CCleaner. Restart your computer. If that fails, reset Internet Explorer to default. Turn computer off and restart. Then run CCleaner again. It should work like new afterwards.

Download CCleaner | Clean, optimize & tune up your PC, free! ( choose the free one , uncheck the box that ask if you want to install Google Chrome )

Malwarebytes, always keep a copy handy on a thumb drive. I'd run a virus scan just to be safe April.

Run a scan like Sonny suggested, or Malwarebytes. Better safe than sorry.

I have that...and it's enabled for this site.
The problem seems to be only with any animated gifs...I can see the gifs posted, but for whatever reason, when I click onto a thread filled with them, my screen begins to fill with little black boxes that jump all over the screen...
