Google virus/spyware warning

Hello all,

I am using Windows XP Professional with 2 user accounts.
My girlfriend has a problem using Google using her account.
Every search results in an error message from Google (see below).
Using my account the problem does not show up. I have run various
virus- (McAfee v8) and spyware- (Hitman pro 2, MS anti-spyware)
scanners, but no issues found.

I checked the hosts file (read in another post), but the content seems
ok (one entry, 127.0.0.1 localhost).
We only have one network card and IP address, so it seams not a blocked
IP/mac address.

Anyone having any other ideas?
Thanks in advance for any help!

James & Maartje


We're sorry...

.... but we can't process your request right now. A computer virus or
spyware application is sending us automated requests, and it appears
that your computer or network has been infected.

We'll restore your access as quickly as possible, so try again soon. In
the meantime, you might want to run a virus checker or spyware remover
to make sure that your computer is free of viruses and other spurious
software.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope we'll see you again on
