Method 6: Perform the Captcha

 

If you were indeed carrying out too many Google searches and there’s no other reason, then filling out the Captcha will be an easier way out. Google throws a captcha with the error thinking it’s a robot and filling it out will prove that you are a human and that you are not misusing the internet. Once filled correctly, you are verified and you can then carry out your regular searches as usual.

Method 7: Restart your System and Router

 

Sometimes simply rebooting your PC and the router can be the quickest solution. So, restart your router and then restart your system to check if the “Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network”  error is fixed.

 

Method 8: Perform a Malware Scan

 

This should be a must try method because for most Windows errors a malware is the reason. So, if you have a trusted 3rd party antivirus software installed, run a virus scan to detect any harmful software that may be causing the issue. The antivirus tool will then quarantine your PC automatically by removing this malware. You can then restart your PC and start searching Google like before.
