Hi,

Anyone else experiencing this? If I open www.google.co.uk in either Firefox or IE, the logo and search box with buttons displays quickly but the blue links sort of fade in after 2-3 seconds. Never seen this before and my malware search didn't find anything strange.

Don't worry, it's meant to do that.

"Today we're excited to be releasing a new version of our classic homepage. The main feature of the new homepage is that it "fades in" — when the page first loads, it shows only our logo, the search box and the buttons. For the vast majority of people who come to the Google homepage, they are coming in order to search, and this clean, minimalist approach gives them just what they are looking for first and foremost. For those users who are interested in using a different application like Gmail, Google Image Search or our advertising programs, the additional links on the homepage only reveal themselves when the user moves the mouse."
