[bcab] Re: Google - Another Capcha

Thanks for that Phil.  I left it for a while then tried again.  In that time I'd also noticed that I wasn't actually signed into Google.  I signed in and all was fine.  So, whether it was the wait, or the sign in, I'm not entirely sure, but all is now OK.

Hi Mel,

I got this message once. It was a couple of months ago but nothing since.

I think that Google checks for search constructs which are close to patterns used by virus or malware designed to break security. When such a pattern is entered, Google blocks the search in order to retain security of their system and avoid returning you unsafe information.

Regards,

Hi All,


Have just tried a google search and got the following. Has anyone else
come across this and is it something that's going to appear more and more
often do we suspect??


403 Forbidden

Google

Error

We're sorry...


... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer
virus or spyware application. To protect our users, we can't process your
request

right now.


We'll restore your access as quickly as possible, so try again soon. In the
meantime, if you suspect that your computer or network has been infected,
you

might want to run a

virus checker

or

spyware remover

to make sure that your systems are free of viruses and other spurious
software.


We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope we'll see you again on Google.


To continue searching, please type the characters you see below:


If you can read this, you do not have images enabled. Please enable images
in order to proceed.


Time to look for another search engine perhaps.
