Never mind. It's malware. Hijacked my Chrome browser. I think. Never happened before.

That was my immediate thought. Hopefully you can clean it all up. Good luck!

I was afraid NI was starting to put ads up. That would be a nightmare. The fix was easy. Chrome cleans up very nicely. It bothers me that it happened in the first place.

Oh, I hadn't realized you meant that it was the top of *this* page. Like altenbach, if I had seen that, I would immediately suspect something and at least in your case they were decent (?) enough to leave a signature on the ad.

 

Anyway, I doubt that NI would ever put external ads on their site of this sort, as it's a move which seems to have no positive value. The money to be made from it is not worth the downsides and I can't think of other companies which do this.
