colorful multicolored blocks?

A few times while reading threads I get these colorful multicolored ty-dye looking blocks all across whatever page I am reading. The whole frame turns this color but moving up long enough makes them go away. Anybody know what this is? I'll try to get a screenshot next time it happens.

Yes, this blocks out the whole ATS. But I can still switch between tabs in my browser so its not a virus.

Haven't come across anything like that before. Sounds pretty annoying.

Once in awhile when I first open a page, usually in "messages", the ribbon will stay stuck across the screen and block some of the page.

If I scroll up and down it will move with the screen until it disappears. It's annoying and happens a lot.

I had the exact same thing happen the other day but not on this site.
It was the first and only time ive ever seen anything like it.

Do you have a screen saver called electricsheep installed? I do. and it makes patterns like that, but I shouldn't be able to see the browser tabs when a screensaver pops up.

Also, this pattern starts the same sequence every time and never changed!

The electrisheep screensaver always starts with a different cycle of cool colorful movie clips.

I hope its not to big and stretches out the thread to much but here it is.'

I know, it is really weird. Before last week, I had never seen anything like it.
