Moving back to Dubai after 22 years has been an experience! Back then we didn't have the internet or blogs. Now we do I can jot down my thoughts on daily life, things we come up against, things we enjoy, the multi-national society, the laws, the weather...plus other things in general which catch my attention.

I AM SICK AND TIRED OF NOT BEING ABLE TO ACCESS GOOGLE!
FOR GOD'S SAKE, THIS IS THE 21st CENTURY. WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO USE 21st CENTURY TECHNOLOGY!
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 apologize for the inconvenience, and hope we'll see you again on Google.
The ISP system that Etisalat has adopted is to blame for it. Every internet user is suppose to have a unique ISP number which tracks the user...since Etisalat wants total control over its users..all users have the same ISP provided by Etisalat...so google thinks that 100's of people from the same ISP are trying to search something...so it shows you the msg..that its a virus or a spyware...Etisalat is to blame for this...not Google.
It's blocked for you?
ReplyDeleteIt's working ok for me. Just damn slow, as ever.
google running some sort of anti-spam software thats not keeping up with incoming traffic
ReplyDeleteI all too often get the 'you look like a hacker/virus spreader/spammer so we won't let you in' message, or the 'search not possible' message.
ReplyDeleteIt's all to do with Etisalat's proxy I read.
I'M GETTING IT AGAIN RIGHT NOW

True. I've never had the problem before, only since I came to Dubai and Etisalat was involved.
ReplyDeleteactually, now is probably a good time to give Windows Live search a good look at and test it out
