The Russians have Invaded Google!

... or I have a seriously weird virus ...

[chowcat]

Please tell me someone else has been experiencing this...

I have to assume that no body has because otherwise there would surely have been a post on it.

If I go to the Google homepage, and type a search into the box, I receive the results as you would expect, nothing abnormal about that. However the Google logo that appears in the top left hand corner of the SERPS is covered by what seems to be an oversized Russian flag just sitting all skewiff, right over where the Google image normally is, and this is happenning every time I do a search.

I have run mcafee, uninstalled and installed the toolbar again and, cleared cache, etc and its still doing it....only in Google, no other site. It has all the traits of a hack, but none of you lot have posted about it. Please don't tell me I'm the only victim of a huge prank.

Location: London (if that makes any difference)

Clear your internet files, I bet someone forced you to download a file with the same name, so when you load the page you are getting a cached version thats on your comp maybe?
