Error 403

[antioch]

Hello All
Earlier this morning I tried to get into I.E. and got a Sorry message from
Google to say that my query looked similar to automated requests from a
computer virus or spyware.
Did full scans with everything but all was apparently clean.
Could not browse IE to see what 403 was about.
So spent 20 minutes on the phone with ISP and got it sorted.
The tech suggested cookies might have caused the problem, but I cannot see
how - every time I finish a session of browsing the net, I clear all cookies
and temps. and last thing at night to make sure.
Any idea how or what caused this error.
