Guest Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 Dale, The IP is registered to hitfarm(dot)com and seems to be a bot. However, it if is adding items to the cart then it is not a very good bot. You may want to add it to your robots.txt and update your spiders.txt files. If security is a concern, then you should also read these threads: Admin Security Site Security Chris

rusel Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 It seems to be a bot. Update your spiders.txt files.
