I didn't think google had a program which alerts you when spyware is installed. What is it called...maybe the warning is itself spyware/adware/etc

mondine is an unknown quantity at this point
Yes, this sounds very much like just another pop-up ad that's gotten past your blocker.
It isn't from Google.

I got that message too

Hey ppl, I also got that strange message sometime ago... I was like doing a search in google, then suddenly a google error page came out..

it said, we're sorry... but we can't process your request right now. A computer virus or spyware application is sending us automated requests, blah, blah, blah.....

then it asked me to type in a image security code.

I did it and everything was fine again but just to make sure, I installed antispyware soft.

that was a little weird...

Yes, that one is a legitimate Google message. And means just what it says. But no reason to assume that it has anything to do with your machine, or local network.

Geez, don't be so damn retarded. Popup message that is in the same window as the Google search page? Who's ass did you pull that out of?

Google has something screwy going on and they are trying to put the blame on the user. Idiots ...

Try searching for "powered by phpbb 2.0.15" to see the error page. The reason for THAT is known. However, people are seeing the error page after searching for innocuous words and phrases.

So, if there is spyware on his system that allows a pop-up, and he happens to be on a Google page, where do you think it's going to pop up, Zippy?

And do you really think that all the questions in the forum are being answered by Google? Good God, what a major twit.

What do you mean about this? seems strange that there are certain search phrases that cause errors in google?
