That swirl is a leftover from Durex's avatar or sig. Sometimes when the PC is running low on resources it can't refresh (read: clean) the page properly and some snippets are left of things which were shown earlier on that position on the screen.

This has nothing todo with this forum/website, Durex's sig/avatar or even with MSIE. This happens in all browsers, and can even happen in any program. The only factor here is the PC on low resources at that specific moment...
