Google:

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.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope we'll see you again on Google.

I'm filing this under stupidity. Mine, not Google's.

The_Rose sent me an Uno game, so I thought I'd be smart, and just rename the thing and then send it to my gmail account. Well, I decided to use .txt. Google caught what was going on, and proceeded to blow that part away, and then it banned my computer (the above) for awhile. No computer virus or spyware, Google, I'm just tyring to get around your protections. I really, really think that with the antivirus you've got working now, dropping the rule against executables would be nice. But hey, OK, I'll play by your rules. And I'll just keep rarring things up, since you don't handle RARs. And if push comes to shove, if you start scanning those, I've got some old DOS archivers that I'm sure you'll never check for (.zoo comes to mind, but there are definately others…)
