Irritating Google Error

[Rinkhals]

I'm using Firefox 3 on Ubuntu and I'm getting this irritating error:

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 apologize for the inconvenience, and hope we'll see you again on Google.

I presume it's because of the damn SAIX proxy.

It's just very irritating having to decipher the bloody CAPTCHA all the time.

Yeah I get it about once a week. I dont understand.. Im always logged into my google account. You would recon after so many years of answering yes to their captcha... they would have realized I am human by now.

I'm getting it every time I go to google.

It must be the proxy setup that Telkom in their infinite wisdom use...

Well I go through SAIX and I dont have it that often. You arent running off a live cd or anything like that?

Nope. Full AMD64 Intrepid install with everything up to date.

But that's interesting.

I might reboot my modem and see if it makes a difference.

I do have this problem more in Linux than Windows. Right now I am running Windows 7... got no hassles, but I know when I am logged into my linux installs.. I get it more than usual.

Me running FF on windows and on Fedora 4 and 10 and have NEVER seen this...

Is it not perhaps an extension causing this?

 

[hyperian]

Yeah, I also get that error sometimes. Although when I do send through a about 100 automated queries to google it never complains. Strange.

 

[milomak]

i get it now and again. infact, it is possible the error occurs only when i run windows. Do3 account.

 

[Rinkhals]

I'm using a Windows XP machine on the same network and I only get the error on the Ubuntu box. I'm running firefox 3.0 on both machines.

I guess I'll just switch to Yahoo.

doubt its your internet connection or OS etc

Google checks a few things and if your search string is similar to something people use to mine data to hack other websites, it will block it.

so if you get that error search for something else
