Dear
all
Is anyone else having
problems with Google this morning?
We can access the UK
homepage, and type in our search, but we are then presented with a "403
forbidden" error page which says "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. .... To continue
searching, please type the characters you see below: "
Typing in the characters
allows us to continue searching, but it's very annoying to have to do this every
time you want to use Google.
I seem to recall this
happening before and it was a result of IT somewhere making changes to the NHS
IP addresses. I've spoken to our IT helpdesk, but they are typically saying the
problem is with Google, not as a result of anything they've
done!
Can anyone shed any light
on this?
Many thank in
advance
Katherine
