Uh, what?

That's... odd. Maybe download and run MBAM to see if you have any critters?

They should be 2 buttons just like at the top of the web page. What page are you seeing this on?

Looks like an add perhaps. LnL, you are a Moderator, surely you can use your l33t skillz to figure it out.

Maybe the page loaded funny and an advert was misplaced. Had you refreshed the page before it came up, you could have pressed the compatibility view button.

Definitely check for bugs though, I lost everything on another computer to a virus. Lost everything on this laptop to, though the hard drive failed. Still missing a few .pdfs I think I'll never find again

If the cache in your browser becomes corrupt, the cached graphics for buttons can become displayed improperly. It is rare but it happens. Were you at another website that had those graphics for some page buttons?

Try clearing the cache of your browser next time it happens, and be sure to check for critters.

If everyone got it I would suspect the website. Since only one user got it, I suspect the fault is in the browser.

Took the words right out of my mouth...

Sounds like something really funky happened on your computer with SpudFiles and your browser cache. I would scan the computer with a free antivirus/antimalware/antispyware utility just to be double sure.
Yes, I am the guy that owns & operates SpudFiles (along with our extremely helpful moderators).
