    I am getting this message all of a sudden when i search on google and I don;t know why. I'm not using any new software.

    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'll restore your access as quickly as possible, so try again soon. In the meantime, if you suspect that your computer or network has been infected, you might want to run a virus checker or spyware remover to make sure that your systems are free of viruses and other spurious software.

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

    I get that error all the time, usually if I am just harvesting site urls manually and click "next page" too often

    For the sake of argument I would run a full adware\spyware scanner on your computer, everytime you go to search something via Google the spyware\adware may be trying to do something as well.

    That error message also occurs when pages are being translated into other languages.

    I got that error several times in a row, then they would dissapear and re-appear a few months later. Usually happens when:
    -I'm using Google Translator for >10 times in a day
    -I'm using something that accesses Google servers several times (e.g. digpagerank.com, I think...)
