Re: Google thinks I am an automated bot

So it must be just my IP address - comes of doing a lot of searches this afternoon I suppose.
Will have to try again tomorrow and if thar doesn't work ask to be taken off a fixed IP address

Yes I think you should add 'Ha' to the swear filter. I find it a very offensive 2 letter word that is over used :P.

Re: Google thinks I am an automated bot

An update - booted into Windows 7 (dual boot with Vista) and got to the site without problems.
First thought - have I picked up a virus  Undecided so I ran Avira full scan and it picked up 5 trojans - Oh [Censored]
Further investigation - they were all versions of the same program - a field of view modifier for Farcry 2 so I ran the file through Virus Total and there were two positives for the same trojan Avira and Mcafee but nobody else. So a false alarm.
Booted into Vista and got to the site with no problem so must put it down to a Google foible
