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.
Hi, I recently encountered the above error message from a website which I had previously no problem with.

I had scanned my computer with AVG, Ad-aware, Spy Boat, & Windows defender but the results are negative.

Can anyone help, please?

You may have been trying to search for keywords that spammers typically use to search for pages likely to contain e-mail addresses.

Dear cwwozniak,

I was not searching using google, what happened is that i have actually entered the web page without any problem, but the web page doesn't show any images ( just a blank square/box). When I click on the blank box, the error message shows up. I tried from a friends pc on a different network, and it was ok. I tried on another pc using my network (usb modem, hsdpa) .. same error message. Could it be that my network has somehow blocked the contents of the website?

Then I have no idea why you your are getting an error message that seems to be coming from Google. Maybe if you provide a URL for the page on the site you are visiting we might be able to get some idea of what is going on.

Guys, the problem has been resolved. It seems that the website has been banned due to copyright issue.

Thanks for your help guys.
