I Am a Virus

I’m trying to find sites that use a particular CMS package. As part of my query, I’m looking for index.php and numbers in the URL (like so: index.php s=0..999).

Alas, Google provides me with this response:

Google
Error

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.

    Google seems to be in the “overzealous” range of the anti-spam spectrum right now. Remember when they blocked my blog for over a week because they thought it was a spam blog? I still can’t figure out how they couldn’t automate something smart enough to see that my blog is clearly not a spam site.
