Google Trends thinks I am virus or spyware

May 11, 2006 · Filed Under Web Master Talk 

Google Trends purred out this nasty message when I was trying it out with whatever keyword popped in my mind. Its funny to see how google trends fails to figure out simple thing like real user vs automated request.

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.
