Here is a very poor shot of my Google chrome browser window with the issue, safari is fine. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the App.

I have a good new Mac, don't put it down eric, I work on trees not ether and bits, it's all i need..

Just unistall Google Chrome.

I got a glitch a while ago from Google Toolbar on FF3, got rid of Google toolbar and problem solved.

I think hackers are targeting Google stuff, tall poppy syndrome.
