Unusual traffic in google dot com


It's the second time I try to use Google and I receive the message "We have detected unusual traffic in your account" or something so. "Try in a few minutes again". The time I had before used the dropbox file sharing program, which I installed in my computer. A moment later, using google, I received that message. Today, I have just installed a new browser, Tor. And the same thing happened. Could somebody tell me what this is?

A web search for "google we have detected unusual traffic" will turn up many links addressing this issue.

this is totally normal.
google can detect when you're using tor, and starts throwing stumbling blocks your way.
