Robots

No, not that kind.

 

For the past few weeks, almost every time I try to run a google search I get one of those captcha "I am not a robot" procedures to tick boxes in pictures and submit results, sometimes several times. It's a bit of a PITA having to do it several times a day.

 

Is this the new normal, or have I finally been outed as a bit of a dodgy geezer?

I often get it when logging into my web-based email, but have never seen it on Google.

Thank's, that's helpful. I often use a (paid for) VPN service so it's probably linked to somebody else using the service. I've selected a different log-on server and it's gone away (for now).
