[bcab] Re: Google - Another Capcha

Hello

I am currently getting this message and Google refuses to process anything. I 
am logged directly to Google.co.uk and one search term they disapproved of was 
"seeingear" (without quotes). AVG reports no threats - will try the recommended 
spyware doctor program.

Regards
Tony

  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.

  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 


  block quote 

  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.
