Google Poker Ad Banner ?

[advaita]

Is anybody else getting a very annoying skyscraper banner down the right hand side of their screen whenever they try and use Google ? Is it Google doing this or has my browser been hijacked ? It's very annoying.

It seems it's also changed my homepage to Google with a banner ad. Very disturbing !

It looks like it's some sort of homepage hijacker set up to look like Google but with a poker ad. which probably does nasty things if you click on it.

Its probably on your end.

Google doesn't support poker sites.

I don't have a banner on my google but what is more interesting is they shut down my advertising for my sites that related to Poker.

It seems that somehow my homepage was hijacked and sent to a place that looked exactly like Gogle apart from the poker banner - after a lot of messing around I did a 'restore system' to one week back in time and got rid of it.
