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?

Almost every time I search for something, i get the following message:

I am tired of filling in pictures over and over again. Why do the software believe I am a robot? Even the first time in the morning or the last in the evening. I do not have unusual traffic i know of, and I use the best virus program in EU, Bitdefender.

What cause these messages? How to stop it?

What do you mean " search for something"? Using Google to search?

Google may detect unusual traffic in case you are behind a VPN or similar network. It happens if your public IP address is shared with a lot of other people.

New tab. Search the web, write an address, or clicking on an icon on Top Sites.

Directly appears this text with the captcha picture and need to locate traffic lights, buses bridges... 

in case you are behind a VPN or similar network. It happens if your public IP address is shared with a lot of other people.  Answer: No.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration or userChrome.css is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window

It is possible that (anti-virus) security software is causing the problem. Try to disable security software temporarily to see if that makes a difference.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support to see if that has effect.
