Google does that to prevent what they see as automatically-submitted search queries--presumably in pursuit of search engine optimization or click fraud--but I can't find the reference right now. There should be, somewhere on the page where you're asked to enter the CAPTCHA word, a link to report that you are not a robot.

Edit: Found more info on what is happening. I suspect that if it's not your computer, it's another one on your company network or possibly your company's upstream provider.
