Google thinks I'm a spambot

When I try to llook at a google cache, I get a 403 forbidden message:

I deleted my cookies but this only worked in IE 8. Not in FF3 or Opera 9.64.

http://www.google.com/support/websearch ... swer=86640

The message advises me to install AV and Anti-malware software (which I allready had) and scan my system. The scan returned clean.

Any ideas?

It's probably IP-based. If you have an account, try the Unlock CAPTCHA.

it's a bug (on google) I guess, I had this too a couple of times already....a day later it worked again...

This can happen if you use a proxy as well.
