Hi
Something got past Avast Premier and Malwarebytes and the main reason I know this is because I can't access search on Google.
I left Avast running all last night and it came up with `IDP Generic` and the problem with google is I keep getting the following message-

About this page

Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot. Why did this happen?

This page appears when Google automatically detects requests coming from your computer network which appear to be in violation of the Terms of Service. The block will expire shortly after those requests stop. In the meantime, solving the above CAPTCHA will let you continue to use our services.

This traffic may have been sent by malicious software, a browser plug-in, or a script that sends automated requests. If you share your network connection, ask your administrator for help — a different computer using the same IP address may be responsible. Learn more

Sometimes you may be asked to solve the CAPTCHA if you are using advanced terms that robots are known to use, or sending requests very quickly.

When I try to run CATCHA to prove I'm human it just runs and runs and never changes anything and I can't access the search, I'm partially sighted so I can't be sure I'm hitting the right images 'cos the pictures are too small so I desperately need your help to find out what's going om.
I would even reinstall Windows but I bought this laptop with Win 10 on it and I don't have a clue what the serial number is, so please can someone help me.
Thank you

Cat

It's unlikely anything got past two separate AV's unless you were going to some hardcore dark web sites.  Google does put that page up periodically, again when you are doing something unusual like searching for malicious things, i.e., keygens, licenses, or porn, or anything illegal.  Once you put the captcha in that screen should go away.

Now on to your real issue... the captcha may not be displaying because of many reasons.  What browser are you using?  Are you blocking active x?  Are you blocking cookies?  Are you blocking IP Addresses?  Do you have flash installed?  Do you have an ad blocker installed?  A lot of things will stop the captcha from generating.

Screenshot of block and captcha would help.
