On Chrome. DU link is now labeled Qanon. Anyone else?

Just started a few minutes ago. Is it something I picked up (virus), something malicious, or just a quirk? Or is something happening on DU end?

When I click on the link, it takes me here, to DU.

4. I went back to it and it is back to normal. The whole thing lasted maybe fifteen minutes.

What got me paranoid is I posted something rude here about QAnon just a bit before that happened.

Then from my home page, the icon for DU read QAnon. I clicked it and it took me to DU.

I do have some anti-virus installed. I'll take your advice and do a full scan.

Thanks.

5. Is this a link on Chrome's built-in toolbar?

Have you visited any Q stuff before?

Do you have any addons enabled in Chrome?

6. Eight icons in middle of Chrome home page. Most commonly used? DU is one.

The label beneath the DU icon said QAnon.

No, I haven't been to any of their sites. I have read some posts here about them.

No, I don't believe I have any addons. Although I reckon I better double check that.

Thanks for the help. Not a big deal, maybe, but I was kind of alarmed. Something weird like that popping up.
