I've gotten a new IP by my ISP and the issue has gone away, but it was 
extra cost and inconvenience as I have to resetup my "non google" 
related services back up. I'm a developer, and one whos adept at 
removing malware, of which I broke my computer twice trying to find any 
existence of. Google has not responded yet from that contact form from 
when I submitted that originally. I've also found several places/fourms 
where people are having the same issue I was, hopefully it doesn't come 
back.
