Your problem is with all web pages except with K-Meleon page, this is very strange.
Are you tried if you have this problem with others browsers like Firefox, IE, ...?

@ mrbig

As desga2 mentioned, that is very strange.:s Perhaps the other cached pages have some how become corrupt. Perhaps clearing the cache's (Edit > Preferences > Cache > click on both "Clear" buttons,) will be helpful.

this is either a corrupted profile or incompatible remnant kmeleon files from previous versions.

first delete existing profile(backup your bookmarks.html first), create a new profile and check if everything is working normally...

..if not, do a clean install: uninstall kmeleon and delete all kmeleon files manually if you have to, install kmeleon 1.5.1 in a new folder.

Are you tried with a new profile? Profile can be corrupted.
Are you tried to reinstall K-Meleon 1.5.X? This can be caused by some corrupted file.

pvrantivirus.com is one of their domains.. in case anyone thinks i'm promoting it, DON'T download anything from there.

If anyone gets this infection, here is a great page that tells you how to get rid of it. I have successfully removed this on two machines that I have worked on. Here is the link

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/malware-removal/remove-micro-antivirus-2009

There are several variants of this and are listed on the page.
