Just now i checked paypal site and surprised with the new look. At first i am little bit scared to login and check whether i am using the secured version. After some reviews i found that paypal changed its home page with a new design.
The new design of paypal is very impressive which is very much better than the old one. It is having the new quote..

It still looks the same to me. If for a phishing site(fake site), it won't use a new design as it will alert you.
However, if paypal suddenly change its look, I will check the 3 things below:
1) Url link
2) Does it had "https" connection or the "lock" icon.
3) Browser add-on should be in green: WOT and McAfee's sitadvisor.
I have read your reply with akp100 and found out that you suspect it might be DNS Malware which I don't think so. If your computer are affected by it, on Tuesday, you can't even connnect or visit the internet.

Yeah, I saw that but I can't really see the url link. Maybe you are right at that time they are testing new design on the site.

charles, hope you checked the image uploaded by me in Akp's reply. I used the secure version of paypal with https link and go to that site. But now, i am getting normal paypal. I wonder, how the new design appears for me at that time alone? may be paypal is checking some new designs to redesign their site.

You have every right to be cautious about a new page layout but as you say, so long as you are logging in to a secure page, ie one that starts https// you are fairly safe.
For me, the design of the page is not important so long as the links are obvious and not like recent versions of Microsoft software where they hide things to make it 'clever'. Like doing away with the menu item 'File' and replacing it with a football! Duh!

Hi,
I had kept the notification of this discussion safe in my inbox since yesterday so that I could respond later. Today I find you already have got several responses saying the look has not changed for them. I took a look at the picture you uploaded and I have the same thing to say as others did; mine appears just as what it had been. I think some people are out to do mischief and we have to be careful. Thanks for this post as otherwise I would not have known about this.

yes dear, now i too get the normal look, may be it is due to the dns problem of yesterday issue. As we know yesterday a DNS maleware attacked a lot of sites, may be it is due to the attack, luckily i don't login with that site using my password, now paypal is available with the old look for me
