It is because Google is experiencing a high amount of traffic from your network or ISP - because of viruses or trojans which may be running a Denial of Service attack on them.
To protect themselves, they disable Google for users on the range/network that is affected and for you to receive access again, and have your machine specifically unblocked, you need to enter the validation code.

Weird, just never seen it before. I thought Google was being taken over by hackers

Nah, Google just loves CAPTCHAs.
Though I wouldn't have thought that Google would be worried about bandwidth, if I worked there I'd certainnly be exploiting the network.
