Google thinks I am a Virus!

    I was browsing Google and then searched some indexed pages on my site, as I clicked for the next page result I got this error:

    [​IMG]

    Funny eh? Either I have spyware/virus on my computer I don't know of or I am a virus. :D

    This can be fairly common, depending on the nature of your query - especially if you keep hitting "next" to see more results. I run into this when trying to find what page my listing is on. It usually kicks in after I hit "next" 5 times or so.

    If someone could support my theory, I think it's from overusing google. To many consecutive searches. I use to get it all the time, when I used google to get to every webpage on the Internet.

    I'm on linux, so I doubt, I had a virus.

    One more reason to mix other engines in with one's normal searching patterns. I've enjoyed using msn's search lately - they'll show you many hundreds of results and won't treat you like a criminal.

    yep this is especially true if you are tryig to do something like compile a list of guestbooks or comment forms. Google tends to stop on the 11th page for certain types of queries.

    Stops the blackhats :)

    Too many queries for the same site/keyword can result in the same thing. Someone blasting google with multiple requests for your site could do this to you... at least on a site by site/keyword by keyword basis... at least that is my understanding of how it was done to an older site of mine. As everyone that searched for my keywords/site name were getting that automated response.

    Again, this is speculation on my part based on a very odd two weeks.
