Haha has anyone seen this?

[MiDnite]

I've had this message twice this morning while searching on google!

 

[Scott]

you got virus

 

[MiDnite]

errr yay something to do! Find it, destroy it! (Thats if its local of course)....

 

[Clipse]

nah its not neccesarily you, it could be result from the transparent proxy and any of the users on that.

I had that error once and definitely didnt have a virus.

 

[peterleroux]

Been getting the same message the past couple of days, scanned with latest AV updates and my machine looks clean, so must be with another user on iBurst...

 

[DigitalSoldier]

also getting the same message and i scanned my pc with with the latest av updates and nothing

 

[werner]

you can also get that message if you do too many "creative" searches via google in a short period of time.

By creative, I mean the stuff available at johnnyihackstuff.

 

[khz]

guys..

Iburst users are behind a Proxy ... Google only see's the Proxy IP.. So either it could 1 of ANY of the Iburst subscribers behind the specific proxy, or it could be the Proxy itself sending out the requests.

surely if you running a firewall you would've seen the trojan attempts in your logs from the 1 server at iBurst?

 

[fibaoptix]

Iburst uses a proxy sure but go to any of the whatismyIP type sites and it will faithfully report your local IP addy, try http://www.whatismyip.com/ to see what I mean. Very few sites are fooled by the proxy address anymore.
If you look at the above linked site it shows you both!

Google restricts access to the network RANGE not just the individual IP.

Whether it sees IBURST's range as a class C or a class B though is debatable. In fact I think it sees it as a class C becuase often if you log off and on again (thereby being allocated a new IP) you will find the restriction goes away.

Im on adsl using an a proxy from one of the IS isp's and ive been using the proxy for about 2months now and only this w/e i started getting that message on google

 

[Vlad]

On sentech, i get that message at least once a week.

 

[TheRoDent]

Been getting the same via Sentech/iBurst/IS. Seems to be due, largely to transparent proxies. Obviously these appear to google to have "high volume" of searches.

 

[MiDnite]

I checked my own pc as well and I couldnt find anything either so you're probably right....
My question is this, if its not only me getting this message surely wbs should know about the issue already?!

Wouldnt it be great to have a service provider that actually cares enough to send their clients a mail stating that they are aware of the issue and that they are working on it and that all users should update their virus scanners and give their pc's a scan?(Such a mail would be a good measure but do we get such mails? nope).
Says a lot about their customer centricism doesnt it.
Or do they rate we'll all see the message, think nothing of it and just carry on without wondering whats really going on.

 

[UnUnOctium]

ibust really needs to get rid of transparent proxy. i really see no advantage to it. i cant download stuff off rapidshare or megaupload just bcoz someone else is downloading something

 

[WiT8litZ]

This really sucks. I can't even google! Flip! Keep getting the same message over and over....

 

[craigsa]

Same here.

 

[telkomsuig]

Getting the same message on my corporate connection too...

 

[Jongi]

Yeah i've got that at work (non-iBurst) and at home

 

[the_anomaly]

Is Anyone using the search feature in firefox?

I think that may have something to do with it.

 

[MiDnite]

Nope straight up http://www.google.co.za but I am using firefox....What do you mean you think its got summin to do with the firefox search functionality?
