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.

I don't get it, is it because I searched a "foreign" string ? I hardly doubt it is because I am taking part of a DOS attack or something similar..

anybody want to confirm this ??

There once was a worm using google to exploit PhpBB forums, so google denies the search string. If you just use "by phpbb 2.0.15" or some other search string, you should get the same results though.

Thats common. google has taken steps to stop using them for information gatehring by worms and viruses. After the last php worm they started blocking searches for key phrases.
