Getting this a lot recently when opening a Google search from the Firefox toolbar (example). Usually when I try to type "define: word". Although "define word" works fine. Are they really having such a hard time recognizing that I'm sending a manual request and it's not automated? It's a pain in the ass since the page they display has no search bar or anything and completely halts any kind of forward progress from this crap.

The key position is 'your computer or network'

There is nothing wrong with being a bot

The SeoQuake firefox plugin can cause this, I had the same problem and it turned out to be seoquake

I've had this page come up on different computers in different houses and even different cities. I don't understand what the reason is for it, but it's really annoying when I'm just trying to look up something really quick. Also noticed that in IE it will give you a captcha to fill in and continue with but in FF it simply gives you the message and you have to figure out a different way to accomplish what you're trying to do.. +1 IE -1 FF

Never had that before and haven't installed any plugins in many months. Hell I haven't even updated FF in a while.

BIGTYMER · 10-16-2010, 10:46 PM

I only see that message when I use a proxy... You using a proxy?

loreen · 10-16-2010, 10:51 PM

I only see that when I, indeed, use some kind of bot / automation tool.

Jakez,

Yeah I have had that when I have had to use a proxy also. Not any other time though.

probably spyware

CYF · 10-17-2010, 02:16 AM

Google does that sometimes if you search for something similar to what the bots do.

Davy · 10-17-2010, 02:40 AM

Got that a couple of times, too. It goes away after a while, though.
