Just about every 3rd Google search I make tonight results in the message below:

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

Somehow I’m Not Feeling Lucky today…

Update: It’s really not just me. Breaking: Google is Broken reports Mashable.

Update (4/10): Paul Adams describes a similar experience @ Wired, and his commenters believe it’s caused by some anonymizer software.  It’s not.  It JUST HAPPENS.
