Intersting event this morning-I was using my daughter's computer and typed into Google "poi factory" (no quotes in the original search). Google popped up with a warning telling me my query looked like an automated entry and asked me to type in a code to continue. I repeated the entry, same result. I assume it is the letters "poi". I have not encountered that message before, and I use Google a lot and do some weird searches of abbreviations, etc.
No problem googling
No problem googling "POI Factory" on my Dell laptop.

same here
No wierd results here, either. Could be caused by past searches you did with security selections made at the time. It may see it as a potential problem now. If you clear out the cache and delete all your cookies, it may come up with different results. But neither Google or Yahoo search came up with any funny notices here.

If it looks like the message in the link below:
http://www.google.com/sorry/misc/?continue=http://www.google...
Then I was getting the same thing from Google a week ago. This message popped up several times when I was doing various searches that had nothing to do with POIs or the POI factory. This seems to be a bug coming from Google itself.
I don't think this has anything to do with the POI factory.
Gone Now
I did routine maintenance on the unit (defrag, clear cache, delete temp files etc.) and now I go striaght to the results page.
It will remain a "mystery".
