It is funny. I find a bug of google.

So if you want to see the bug do the step as below
Set you google Preferences as

Interface Language : english
Number of Results : 100
save it

then search anything you want

and then you input the keyword forum into the search box in the results page, so you can see the bug.

Am I the first one find the bug?

hehe

 

So, now I believe any software could have bug besides google

 

I will save you the time of trying it. Here is the error.

We're sorry...
... but we can't process your request right now. A computer virus or spyware application is sending us automated requests, and it appears that your computer or network has been infected.

We'll restore your access as quickly as possible, so try again soon. In the meantime, you might want to run a virus checker or spyware remover to make sure that your computer is free of viruses and other spurious software.

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

 

how did you find it t10host

 

occasionally

 

I believe I've encountered that by using an automated ranking checker with no user simulations or Google API's.. hehehe.. it was about 2 days before I can get to use google again.. lol

just a note though, I don't think it's a bug, it's more like a precaution for their databases.

 

Are you making lots of automated queries to google?

 

No, I just find it occasionally.
Accturally, If you input any keyword with forum, such as webmaster forum (this is I try to used) and so on, the error is there.

 

It is not an error.

Sometime ago there was a Worm that affected PHPBB forums (I think it was the Santy or something like that). Every infected machine used Google to search for other PHPBB forums and try to infect them too. Google blocked the search for terms like "forum", "viewtopic", etc. in order to stop this worm for reaching more and more systems.

 

Yeah what alephito said.

Try to go to the second page searching "powered by phpbb"

 

Ok, I see.
