Weirdness with Google/YouTube, this morn. Is my security compromised?

This morning, when I went to YouTube, it told me that I now had to link my YT and Google accounts (I'd been hitting 'Remind me later' before). Long story short:

Entered my password, but then I couldn't get onto YT (essence of browser message 'This will never complete'). Eventually went in through a back door and everything seemed to be okay (had to sign back into YouTube, I think, though).

Fastforward to when I got to work:

My Google shit (Calendar, Gmail) now has this in my Chrome's address bar:

I "linked" the accounts on my laptop, at home, and I'm now on a Windows 7 desktop, at work. I just connected to an XP here (via the Windows 7) and went to the same pages, also with Chrome and I'm not having the issue there.

What up with that?!

When I click on the red X over the lock icon, It says:

Your connection to mail.google.com is encrypted with 128-bit encryption. However, this page includes other resources which are not secure. These resources can be viewed by others while in transit, and can be modified by an attacker to change the behavior of the page.

The connection is encrypted using RC4_128, with SHA1 for message authentication and RSA as the key exchange mechanism.

The connection is not compressed.

A regular, computer restart has (seemingly) solved the problem.

Thanks for your contributions, everybody! grouphug
