Just went to login to my gmail upon getting to work, and I saw the top of a weird image in the corner where the logo usually goes (attachment)

I thought - weird .. so I right-clicked on the image and got the URL and went to it:

https://ssl.gstatic....gle_logo_41.png

Wonder what happened.

Empty your browser's cache .. something's gotten muddled up there somewhere..

looks like a possible browser hijack changing the header portion of the page.

Clearing the cache fixed it.

Next time, try Ctrl+F5, which reloads the page without using the cache. That way you don't have to empty it :)

Same thing happened in (of all applications) Outlook (and it's not unique to 2013), and it's happened before. Logging in again in Outlook solved the issue.
