Some additional thoughts. >From memory, when my PC was infected it was bypassing squid and going direct. (My PC was allowed through the firewall for testing) The malware was looking for other sites to infect using Google. As google are already blocking your access I would start looking at your firewall. Log all requests to port 80 and look for the PC/s that are trying to access google constantly. This showed up pretty quick when I was infected. I chose to rebuild my PC. Hope this helps. 2009/1/16 Mark Barlow <squid.users.mailing.list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > MALWARE ALERT!!!!! > I had this, my PC was infected by a drive by download from an innocent site. > > 2009/1/16 jeff donovan <donovan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: >> Greetings >> >> I am running two squid boxes as content filters for a number of schools. >> Google has recently changed and we are now getting a " Sorry you look like a >> botnet " >> We're sorry... >> ... but your query looks similar to automated requests from a computer virus >> or spyware application.
