OT - Google Error....Ever get it?
Just today I started getting the message shown below as I use Google
Groups....any ideas why? I use Spybot, Ad-Aware and AVG which show no viruses or spyware present on the only computer being used to access the Internet. As far as I know, nothing has changed from what has been used for years. Thanks for any comments or suggestions. TMT We're sorry... .... but we can't process your request right now. A computer virus or spyware application is sending us automated requests, and it appears that your computer or network has been infected. We'll restore your access as quickly as possible, so try again soon. In the meantime, you might want to run a virus checker or spyware remover to make sure that your computer is free of viruses and other spurious software.

Assume you're using Windows .. use the "Search" function to look for every .exe,
..zip, .tar, or .gzip file in your Windows "folder". If any of them look new or strange then you may well have something Spybot doesn't catch. I don't monkey with the others -- if Spybot doesn't get it I'll root it out manually. Also look in your registry, at the item called HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run to see if there is anything weird or wonky in there. If it isn't buried in your registry so it self-starts, and there aren't any new ..zip or .exe files then the chance you have spyware or malware is minimal. These are really good tips I'm telling you. I maintain 7 PCs at my house and 4 of them are run by teenagers and man let me tell you these kids can pick up some poopoo out there. I have fixed the hairiest kind of stuff.

Those are all good apps, especially considering their costs. But one that I
think you should get, and it has a trial period, is from Trend Micro called AntiSpyware. I ran all those you mentioned, add in High Jack This, and Trend Micro app still found a nuisance virus. It also could be if your on a broadband connection they were blocking a range of ip addresses because of the mentioned problem, not necessarily yours. "Too_Many_Tools" wrote in message ups.com...
