Why does kanji script appear superimposed on tabs and then appear in an e-mail message from a known commercial sender?

More than once as I am working with 3 or more open tabs, kanji script appears superimposed across the tabs. Won't respond to right or left clicking, haven't tried highlighting.

Today while opening email on yahoo, a message appeared in my inbox with kanji characters in the information parameters (date, checkbox) but English in the subject line. I deleted it.

I'm getting worried. I do not think this is a Yahoo problem as I'm not actually in Yahoo when the kanji appears first, but the yahoo tab was still active. The kanji spreads across more than one tab.

Thanks, Fred. I have removed the Site Advisor. I hesitate to mark the problem solved until some time has passed with no new occurrences. I will be sure to follow up on this in a week or so. MinMan
