This is a substitute image which is displayed when your browser can't
find (or work out) which image file it ought to display. One common
cause for this is where the image file name has a space in the middle
of it. It should be replaced by %20 to display reliably with all
browsers on all systems, but that has to be done by the site in which
case you should email them to let them know.

At first I thought it was a sygate ploy to make me buy the 'pay for' version
but the same thing happens when I try to download the google toolbar

Any suggestions?

You've not turned images off, have you?
