I was checking one word keywords and the PR attached to the highest ranking sites when i got 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 now im not able to google anything
Yeah, You search many results of the same thing go through many many pages. It happened to me before, it will go away in a while.
I receive this when I search for results for similar keywords too quickly. But I stop a while and it is back to normal, won't take too long, or just close your browser and try again.
It appeared a few months back once in a while, maybe I look like a virus, need to look at myself in the mirror again . Anyway it is a minor inconvenience. Try Google on a different browser if it doesn't work.
no biggie, i would delete cookies and try, but that deletes all my stored passwords, and then its back to logging in all the sites i use manually, thats a pain. Ill just wait it out, theres always Yahoo!
it is because of searching same query and repeating more by using same internet ip with in short duration.
simplyg123 if u r working in a organization of some 1000+ members and all are using same ip and try to access (google account , search , gmail at a min interval ) this type of msg will appears i too experienced this kind of message in my organization
This came up for me when I was checking to see what number a url was indexed at on a certain keyword. After hitting next page several times the message came up, I was scanning for a title I knew so was obviously 'faster' than your average surfer. It must have looked like automated script to Google so I was temporarily blocked, this all makes sense as Google don't like people using automated index checkers such as Webposition Gold etc... From Google: "Google does not recommend the use of products such as WebPosition Gold that send automatic or programmatic queries to Google", this extract can be found here.
I got it too.. It asked me to enter a captcha phrase to continue..once i entered it...i could continue with the search.
Ive had it before when searching for directories, i get so far and that happend maybe a couple of times for me.
Sometimes if you click on 'page 9' of the results from page 1 etc then this triggers this page. This is becuase it is not natural human behaviuor and therefore this gets flagged up as possibly spyware or an automated tool. As long as your not doing anythign wrong you should be ok and the problem will go away. Hope it helps.
well this things happens most of the time with me. The main cause behind this is the use of automated tools to search google queries for a particular site. like searching where www.example.com is coming for kw "example". it happens faster if you look for more pages.. like looking 100+ results.. google have implemented this to minimize their bandwidth usage.
