"banned" in this context probably means that idiotic popup about "unusual traffic detected from your machine" and if i would "pretty please run some anti-virus scanning software please".
This happens often when creating complex search terms with 'inurl' and 'intext' operators. This happens to me at least once a month.
- shawnz 8y agoJust curious, do you live in a western country? Do you have a Google account? I use funny queries like that often but I've seen that message maybe only once or twice before. There must be some additional factors involved.
- SCHiM 8y agoWestern country while logged in on my google account. I've given it some thought myself, I have that account logged in from a variety of systems: linux boxes and windows boxes some behind a vpn, some not. I suppose it sometimes looks like my account is used for botting, but then again: why wouldn't I be allowed to connect my bot to their results, given that google uses bots to index the content in the first place? Despite the fact that I could probably adjust to better fit their 'nothing weird going on here' preconceptions, I think I'd rather complain and hope that over time it's google that will change.
- londons_explore 8y agoClearing cookies and use of a shared VPN server are the main culprits for this error. If neighbouring IP's to yours abuse Google services, you'll see way more of these errors.
