Well this really depends on their definition of your "network". Your  
Mac most probably can't be doing this, but if a chunk of your ISP's  
address space contains infected machines, including your system, this  
could happen. That said, I've NEVER seen this warning from Google.

Another possibility is that the machine that USED to have your address  
was infected and it's still blocked.

But again, I've NEVER seen nor heard of this warning from Google,  
though a search (using, of course Google ;-) turns up a number of hits  
like this:



It seems to be producing this in response to inurl searches.

At what point do you get this message, just by going to 
www.google.com, as a response to your search or using the Google 
search field (at least in Safari, don't know about Firefox)?

Thanks for any insights,
Stuart.
