I'm afraid I picked up malware despite Sophos due to this message upon routine searches, e.g. "Where's the nearest pet store". 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?

It's preceded by the reCaptcha request to check the box stating I'm not a robot.

I'm afraid to enter any passwords on here, to order anything, and especially engage in banking. I'm in a rental using WiFi, Thank You, Eileen

Hi,

It shouldn't be a malware. Many users report the same behavior after the recent update. While it's definitely not intended and inconvenient, please feel free to pass the CAPTCHA and continue using Google. From what we know, it shouldn't appear more than once (unless you clear cookies / have set Firefox to clear cookies on restart).
