Read the other messages in this thread, it isn't a malware or virus
it is Google celebrating the 30th anniversary of Pac Man. If you are
using No Script with Firefox or other script blocking tools you will
not get the effects. I don't know how long they will leave the game
and effects up, the official anniversary is tomorrow the 22nd, so I
wouldn't be surprised if they leave it up through tomorrow as well.

Chris
