Default Gmail issues

Has anyone ever gotten this error message from Gmail?

I get it when I try to log in.

it sounds like a hacker or virus used your account for a mass mailing to me.

That was odd. It seemed that my saved shortcut was pointing me to an "old" website. That site was throwing me into an endless login loop. Very odd.

I tried it again from work PC this morning and had no issues.
