Is Google broke or has it got some sort of virus?

    Hi,

    I have tried changing my prevences in Google and couldn't do it as I received the following Google error:

    ___________________

    Google
    Error

    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.

    After receiving the error I just ignored changing the prevences and just left them be.

    But now I am also receiving this error on certain searches within the main google site.

    From search for the search phrase: Powered "Free PHP Directory Script"

    I get results, but when I go to the 4th page it brings up the error. Does it happen to others or is it just me or maybe my computer.

    Are you typing this in, or running it via a script? If you are running the search via a script, maybe that is the problem. If not, are you sure you don't have a virus or spyware on your computer?

    I am doing it via a search. I shouldn't have spyware or virus on the computer as I had just done a spyware scan just incase and I had nothing.

    I also have a firewall and also trend micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2007
