Strange Updater issue - need advice

Lately when I open City of Heroes I get the updater box with the buttons on the bottom, and they work fine. However in the frame where the little mini web page should be - I'm getting a white screen that looks like this:

JGGkkLl*(kKLL;
LDLPF


and so on for the whole screen. The game works fine so its not a breaking issue - but its just odd as its been perfectly fine for 5 years.

I've also had random problems when I try to go to the COH main webpage. I get some wierd error that its trying to download a file called cityofheroes_com. But if I go to say www.coh.com/news - it opens just fine.

I'm sure its a related problem and so far I've made sure coh is in my firewall and ita added as a trusted site. I also deleted all coh related cookies just in case.
