Er, Creeper message in gmail?

So this thingy popped up in gmail. I don't know why or how (I wasn't really looking. I looked away... maybe I pressed something by mistake.... but then there it was.)

It is in minecraft text: kind of likes like a button from the minecraft menu. It says 'Looks like the creeper got here before you. While we're working on addressing the havoc he wreaked, try another browser to Play Anywhere'

It obviously looks like it has something to do with minecraft, but I don't get why it is in gmail. When I move to another tab, its not there. It isn't a pop-up, there is no exit or minimize button. I can't close it- clicking it does nothing. I can't do anything in that tab now. I opened up gmail again and it isn't there. My computer is acting completely normal otherwise.

I searched the text in google to find no results. Any reason why this could have happened? I've never seen anything like it.

I know. I've never had this before, haven't heard of anything like it, and I can't find anyone else on the internet who has experienced this too.

Minecraft wiki has nothing to say either.

Thanks, if it happens to you (or anyone else) please tell me how and when it happened and how you got rid of it.

Re: Er, Creeper message in gmail?

Perhaps it's not a minecraft 'creeper', but a real-life creeper?

Perhaps, but how does that explain the minecraft font?  tongue


And no, this is not photoshopped, I swear this is real, I don't know how else I can prove it.

Re: Er, Creeper message in gmail?

Probably you pressed the minecraft button on accident (the browser plugin)

Check what browser extensions you have and run an antivirus scan.

Screen glitch, or virus.

Re: Er, Creeper message in gmail?

Haha. I found out what it is.

I have this 'Minecraft Bookmarklet' thingy. It lets you destroy the current tab like its miencraft blocks. I guess I accidentally clicked that bookmark and perhaps that app wasn't working when I clicked it.
