Hi, I'm wondering if someone can help me with this google warning that pops up

on my computer once or twice a week.

To continue, please type the characters below:

About this page

Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot. Why did this happen?

This page appears when Google automatically detects requests coming from your computer network which appear to be in violation of the Terms of Service. The block will expire shortly after those requests stop. In the meantime, solving the above CAPTCHA will let you continue to use our services.

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

Sometimes you may be asked to solve the CAPTCHA if you are using advanced terms that robots are known to use, or sending requests very quickly.


I don't share my network connection, but I do type fast and do send out search requests rapidly at times.

Anyone else have this problem? Should I be worried about malicious software or NSA spying because of this?

Thanks!

that's what i also get when i type so fast and open too many windows. i haven't really figured out why it happens. i'm not very techie, but i think it's because we're sending requests very fast.
