    Weird message from Google


    This just started happening recently.
    Does anyone get this message?


    Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. Please try your request again later. Why did this happen?

    This traffic may have been sent by malicious software, a browser plug-in, or a script that sends automated requests. If you share your network connection, ask your administrator for help — a different computer using the same IP address may be responsible. Learn more

    I'm not on a network.
    This is a single computer at home.

    What are the addons you have in firefox ?
    Do you get the same error page when you use IE ?

    I've had the same error when using firefox with google groups, but not with IE.

    Very suspicious. I would call Google and ask for clarification. And don't click on any of the hyperlinks.

    are you using a wireless router? if so , you may need to enable security. anyone within your broadcast range can pick up your signal and connect to the internet through your router if security isnt enabled.

    I use Avast and SuperAntiSpyware Pro.

    When I go into Control Panel>Networking and Sharing I see that I had set up the computer "Work Network".

    However that was a year ago and this just started happening.

    Maybe scanning for Spyware and Viruses is in order.

    Yes I'm using a wireless router.
    The security settings are: WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key) and it has a very long password which I have the router randomly generate.
