Whenever I try to search for anything on google, it takes me to a screen that just reads "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. Please try your request again later."
It also has a More Information link, which explains that they believe the IP address I'm connecting from is generating too many searches -- when I'm never doing more than a few a minute, at worst. They say that my next step should be to contact my service provider. Before I get in touch with Verizon... has anyone here experienced the same issue, and is there a fix? Thank you!
(this happens with both Chrome and Firefox. I'm on a Mac, running OS 10.6.8)
