    That happens if someone on your IP address is executing suspicious queries on Google either intentionally or without their knowledge. These queries are usually used to find pages with a certain footprint, often searching for sites using vulnerable software or for guestbooks that you can spam links on. I'd recommend virus sweeping all the computers on your network and securing your internet connection (lock down any wireless devices).

    I searched google for "best buy" but don't see that virus message.

    Ive experienced that once, but not in that particular keyword. And personally don't know what really the purpose of that thing..

    Any further explanations out there?
