    Hi,

      its just bots scanning your site use htaccess file and robots.txt this will tell them what they can and cant do but it will take a while for them to update to the bot sites

          I'd advise installing vb Bad Behavior, which effectively deals with malicious bots and lowers your server load. You can find it on vbulletin.org:

          Many bots ignore robots.txt

                Please read through the thread on vb.org
                Then make a list of all bots you have online. You will find PaulM's addon to track guest visits very handy. Then see what the good and the bad bots are and add the bad bots to robots.txt and if that doesnt help add them to the BB blacklist.ini file.

                    Whats his user agent? BB allows you to ban that, if its anything out of the ordinary.
                    Seems like a Spanish bot though.

                            You need the 'track guest visits' hack by PaulM to find user agents. See vbulletin.org
