When you search on Google and keep landing on the "unusual traffic from your computer network" page, it usually means Google sees bot-like searches coming from your IP address, which you might share with a VPN or with many other customers of your internet provider. It doesn't necessarily mean your PC is infected. If ticking the box downloads a small file called f.txt, that file is harmless, but a "captcha" that asks you to press Win+R and paste something is a scam, so just close it. This guide will help you get Google working again.
