We're sorry...

... but we can't process your request right now. A computer virus or spyware application is sending us automated requests, and it appears that your computer or network has been infected.

We'll restore your access as quickly as possible, so try again soon. In the meantime, you might want to run a virus checker or spyware remover to make sure that your computer is free of viruses and other spurious software.

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

smutx · 05-20-2005, 02:24 PM

sounds like you have some spyware on your hands

KMR Stitch · 05-20-2005, 02:24 PM

No, but does it ask you to buy anti spyware software? lol

Yes, that clearly means that THEY are the ones with a problem.

azguy · 05-20-2005, 02:28 PM

Would you like to tell us your search query?

They block all kinds of stuff.

Try this: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...ed+by+phpbb%22 and try to go to the second results page.

Skripter · 05-20-2005, 02:30 PM

What that message tells me is that yes, they are being DDOSED and all the ghost boxes are on your network. Quick solution, stop all connections from your network. Easiest way to find out is to ask someone in your area with you ISP if they recieve the message too.

I could be wrong, but thats whats it looks like. I'm sure you yourself aren't one of the dummy boxes but.. might as well scan to be on the safe side.

Edit: Haha, or that ^

just a punk · 05-20-2005, 02:32 PM

No, I just used it via Mexican PROXY server ;)

nexcom28 · 05-20-2005, 02:35 PM

I wasn't aware that google blocked certain search terms. I've never seen that error message before.. interesting

Shit I have never seen that before.

budz · 05-20-2005, 02:41 PM

yeah they block tons of stuff ;)

loverboy · 05-20-2005, 02:43 PM

Microsoft is just mirroring the site, no need to panic people
hahaha

budz · 05-20-2005, 02:44 PM

something about stopping automated queries to exploit/virus/spam

I guess

azguy · 05-20-2005, 02:49 PM

There are ways to get around Google's query blocks. I've seen quite a few.

They block "powered by phpbb", but you can get the same results with "powered * phpbb"

Hustlin Entertainment · 05-20-2005, 02:50 PM

Probably a crappy firewall that thinks X amount of requests is too many....maybe why you're getting the message.

Yep, Google-style censorship

just a punk · 05-20-2005, 02:53 PM

Nah, I just checked for rating of our new teen site, so I just entered "nubileones", but forgot to disable my Mexican proxy. when i did this search again (under my regular Russian IP) everything was ok.

However, if Google blocks Mexican proxies it seems they are really DDOS-ed from that network for sure. Because just a hour ago it was ok even under Mexican IP...

Not necessarily. I've heard rumors that Google blocks IPs who perform suspicious queries (i.e. how to build a bomb). It could be that another person who used the Mexican proxy around the time you did performed such queries and was blocked.

"Or use our wildcard searching capabilities, we forgot to lock those as well"

A friend of mine was banned from google after writing a result rebranding script that removed ads, and replaced "Google" with "Aonic" (his alias) .

There was once a phpBB worm that defaced lots and lots of forums using a PHP vulnerability, and it found vulnerable targets by going through google search results.

What were you searching for?

A while ago I saw a list of queries that were banned, and the only query I remembered was "powered by phpbb". There were about 25 on that list
