Since that time, our website has been OVERWHELMED with emails with "A Customer has received an HTTP Error" as the subject line.

I think these are being geneerated by the PHPIDS (1st one above)

 

The problem is that when I look up the IP address of hte error message, it says it's Google. The client received about 1000 (yes, that is not a typo) email messages within 1 week. 90% of which were webcrawlers. The frequency of the emails have not slows down since we installed this about a month ago. I know there is a way to block the IP addresses, but I don't want to do that for the search engines. also, WHY is Google looking for a page THAT DOES NOT EXIST. The url http://www.bellperformance.com/64KPN8Cyj/ does not exist. I'm so confused. Thank you for your assistance.

 

Here is the error message with the URL.
