Vanity: Anyone else having a problem with Google?
google ^ | today | myself

Posted on 09/13/2008 12:07:11 PM PDT by palmer

Anyone else having problem sending searches to Google? I get to their search screen fine, then I enter search terms, then I get sent to a captcha page claiming that I am a bot. Tried deleting their cookies as suggested but that didn't help. They also suggest that there is a virus on my computer that performs google searches (LOL). One thing I thought of is that there might be google links on pages I have loaded so they see a lot of requests coming from my browser.

I did a Google search on you and you are either a city in Alaska or a chiropractic college . Definitely not a bot .

I’ve had it happen a few times in the past. Could never figure why. Computer was not infected. Simplest fix is entering the requested characters from the captcha request.

That happens when you use a proxy server.

Is your ISP or company routing you through a proxy?

“I use MSN and never have a problem”

Oops - hit the send button too soon - I meant for searches - I don’t and won’t use Google.

haha, don’t think I’ll try that. I’ll stick with Biden Doctrine, no hits, no problems.
