    Apparently an email script bot used for spamming ? Been found a few times now in my Raw Access Logs.

    Please confirm this is the right way to go..........

    User-agent: Microsoft URL Control - 6.00.8862
    Disallow: /

    Will i be blocking anything else with this ? Or can i put this ......

    User-agent: Microsoft URL Control - 6.00.8862
    Disallow: /
    User-agent: *
    Disallow:

    Microsoft URL Control is not connected in any way to Microsoft or its search engine spiders, it is actually a "control" that allows programs running on Windows to access the web.

    Microsoft URL Control is used by many different types of programs, some are nice and some are not. In many cases, it's an email address sniffing bot, so you would want to probably ban the IP address it's coming from, not necessarily the whole thing. I don't necessarily think banning it in the robots.txt file would work.

    The Microsoft search engine robot is called MSNbot.
