Google

[recklezz]

Lately while surfing to google.com i'm confronted by a error/warning page that reads something to the lines of...

"your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus etc.." Then i have to input sum random word string and voila all works like it used to and can get back to searching on Google.

Just wondering if this could be a problem on myside or with Ibust, Have any of you guys/gals had this lately?

The same happens on ADSL aswell.

I regularly get accused of abuse by automatic filters on various websites... thanx to the wonder of transparent proxies.

Looks like Google has been doing some clamping down and SA is going to be hard hit by this kind of thing. Google is apparently busy building a local hosting presence which should largely eliminate these kind of problems. But in the mean time - maybe rpm should give Stafford Massie a shout and organize for the limits to be raised a little
