I use multiple browser many times when I am working with multiple projects simultaneously. Often I use Google Reader to read few feeds. Recently, I faced the following error and this error will not go. I even restarted my computer and rebooted my network. I am confident that my computer does not have viruses or malware, I could not tackle this error. When I opened Google Reader on another browser, it worked fine. Finally, I found the solution and I want share it with all of you. The message claimed my network may be sending automated queries, which was not true.
Error
We’re sorry… … but your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can’t process your request right now.
I removed the cookies of Google Reader with the name ‘reader_offline’ as displayed in image below. Once I remove the above mentioned cookie, I could login perfectly fine in Google Reader. I think this message from Google was misleading and inaccurate; however, the solution is easy enough.
I just wanted to share this quick tip with everyone who is facing such an issue.

Nice articles in this site thanks for sharing.
I read your great article and then went to options in google chrome to find the cookies folder. When i got into options i noticed my default browser was set to babylon search engine.
As soon as I put it back to google I was good to go. Thx anyways.
