drivers: images not showing

[drpyrate]

Product:

HP ENVY - 15t-as100 CTO

Issue: 1 month old computer. Had to do a complete system restore when 2 viruses slipped through the pre-installed anti-virus software. I was guided through this by support.

Uninstalled the pre-installed anti-virus software because it essentially proved itself useless to me, and began receiving error messages about missing .dll files. (mfc120u.dll was one of them) Remote support cleared out all residual anti-virus software detritus. I haven't re-installed the new antivirus, yet. 

Restart several times doesn't bring up any missing files prompting me to reinstall something.

However, Images are showing as broken icons across all browsers (Chrome, Firefix, Comodo).  It isn't ALL of the images, nor are they related to advertisements. There is no firewall in place blocking them. I checked settings to allow images on the sites. 

Checked for any Windows Updates to see if it would be able to identify files in drivers that may have been removed. I'm wondering if this is related to a driver that may need to be reinstalled to show images on regularly used (and trusted) sites. Or, if it just makes sense again for me to go to remote support to check this out. Any guidance is really appreicated. I'm really beyond nervous by now, and I don't want to start all over again with a restore on a 1month old computer, and just run in circles with the pre-installed McAffee LiveSafe anymore.  (And yes, I find it ironic that a software intentionally designed to protect my work and the tool is actually blowing it up.)

Many thanks for any assistance.
