This has happened to me several times, but not often. I'd say it happens once every 6 months on average.

At home I use Opera on Windows 7, and log in automatically with Opera's Wand (auto-login) feature. I am on a home network behind a router, and run Microsoft Security Essentials on my computer.

At work I use Opera, Firefox, or IE on either Windows 7 or Windows XP -- it all depends on which computer I'm using -- and log in by typing my username and password by hand. I can't remember it ever happening while using IE, but it's definitely happened with Opera and Firefox. At work, I am on a network behind several switches, at least one router, and sometimes a proxy (again, depending on which computer I'm using), and there is no security software installed on the computers, and no blocking features/plugins enabled in the browsers.
