Google denial of service

Whenever i try to use DevonAgent, first it takes very long and then I get this:

"Google
Sorry…

… but your computer or network may be sending automated queries. To protect our users, we can’t process your request right now.

DA gives me no answers and Google keep refusing to work even o direct queries.

Is there any way to fix the problem?

I asked support but according to them it is OK, it is Google’s fault that DA is sending automated queries (which are illegal) and that it is caught doing so!!!

That’s really curious. I have been using DEVONagent for several years now and I have never seen anything like this before. It will be interesting to see if anyone else has experienced anything similar.

Which search plugin are you using? A customized one or e.g. Google scholar?

Not exactly.
