I got the following after searching "Elders Scrolls Online Forums" on Google using Google Chrome:



Strange, it's never happened before. Maybe ZoS hasn't payed their protection $$? Anyone else get this?

Nope, never happened to me. Although if it's a Chrome thing I don't use Chrome.

I've been using Google Chrome for years and I have never seen that.

Edit: Just tried that same search and.......Nope! Didn't get that.

You're being profiled. Level with us, are you a robot?

Know what? Maybe I should check. But that that could be fun too. Always wanted to be a robot since I was 4.

BTW my laptop's clean. Used 4 antivirus scanners all came up clean and not having any issues whatsoever that would indicate a virus. Also I did the search three times and each time got this until I confessed to not being a robot. Its all good now tho.

Tried Malware and Spyware just to be sure of other things?
Could also just be someone in your IP range has been naughty and Google's picked it up.

Are you using a VPN or proxy service? That can often get you flagged, due to high/suspicious traffic from such endpoints.

Could also be caused by highly aggressive ad/tracker blocking browser extensions.
