See, this is the weird part. The Google page loaded. It was hidden behind their java pop-up window. Other pages loaded just fine in new tabs; there was never a service interruption.

Just this pop-up window.

Also, and this part is REALLY strange, there are two PCs here, behind a router. The pop-up window appeared on my PC (the account is in my name), but NOT on the other PC.

And again, there was never a service interruption. Google loaded, BEHIND their window, and again, other pages loaded with no problem.
