big brother? some kind of metrics tracking box is showing up on my game screen

When I load up the game screen, there's a black metrics box on the bottom right corner. It's recording my keystrokes and following my system metrics. Across the top of the box, it indicates what keys I'm pressing. Below that are lines in yellow, blue and red font showing:
Frames per second (FPS)
MS
Memory (MEM).
The bottom part of the box is graphically showing FPS, MS, and MEM.
It doesn't show up when I visit other websites, or when I'm in the forums--only when I'm actually in the game.
My partner in crime knows computers well...but he's not sure where this thing came from either.
Is it something at your end...or is it meeee?

  • Voluptua and Firestone, try pressing q and p at the same time, or o and p at the same time :)

  • If you don't have this fixed yet - press Q and P at the same time, it'll make it disappear.  It's just letting you know what is going on in your computer.

  • These are diagnostic tools- for a lot of folks it's TMI to see it, but it was something we added awhile ago to help get information to you, and in many cases, give you information to give to us if we needed it if there were problems. Not Big Brother, but big Giants.  :)
