I am not a computer virus!

Sunday, July 01, 2007

I just went to the Google Blog Search to search for something. I got some results, and clicked on a link to sort by Date instead of by relevance. I then clicked on the next page of results to get a 403 forbidden error with this message:

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.

What??

The normal Google search works with no problems though.

Edit: Hmmm, this seems to be quite common...

That’s interesting to know. I’ll have to remember this!
