More Googleyness

[Dartful Dodger]

A friend of mine called me saying he's getting a warning from Google (working in the computer field my friend's think I have an inside track on this stuff so I get panic calls all the time)

I tried to a search on google and it also bounced me to this:

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.

Is the man coming down on Google for not complying, or are they protecting themselves to the point were I need to go back to Yahoo?

That's google's way of saying "learn to spell correctly you  idiot, you're giving me a headache!!!"

But I bet your friend owns lots of guns.

(sorry couldn't resist)

Perhaps google is tired of finding stuff for people. Also tell him that google can not find his keys, lost marbles, whale puke, etc.

I got that a few times as well.  Ask them if they were pissed that it wasn't sending their e-mail and they were clicking "send" fifty brazilian times.  Then tell them to tell you the truth.  That's why I got it.
