Hi. Long time lurker here but not sure if this is the right forum to post this in...

A few times when I type a search query in the Google search box (upper right in IE and FF)
I get this message:

Google
Error

We're sorry...

... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can't process your request right now.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope we'll see you again on Google.

I've run my AV and come up with nothing. Any ideas? Thanks...

http://googlesystem.blogspot.c...-sorry-error-page.html also check some hints in comments. Cookies, infection, strange browser setup, Tor. Seems like a local problem.

Lots of hits from Google
