Very interesting. Unfortunately, you haven't give us enough information
about your computer or the "certain programs" so we can give you focused
help. Here is a link that will show you what details you need to include in
your next post:

In the meantime:

The First Question Of Troubleshooting: what changed between the time things
worked and the time they didn't?

The Second Question of Windows Troubleshooting: what is the malware/virus
status of the machine? If you think it is clean, what programs (and
versions) did you use to determine this?

Be sure the computer is clean:

What "something?"

I think the orange fist is the warning that you're about to visit a site
fenced off by the anti-phising filter. Or something like that.

It appeared in IE7.
