Anyone else had something similar?
Grisoft AVG 8.0 LinkScanner ? Grisoft bough out EPL's LinkScanner a while back and have added it to the new release of AVG 8.0 and it's on by default. Basically what it does it simple yet stupid When an AVG 8.0 user does a search on Google it prefetches every (yes every) tl link returned on the Google result page and scans it for malware. It makes log file analysis redundent unless you weed it out. Have a look in your logs for user agent AVG 8.0 using LinkScanner: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1;1813) LinkScanner: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) and if you find either you might want to set up RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ;1813\)$ RewriteRule ^.*$ "h/\p://\w.grisoft.com/ [R,L] or R=301 *wink*
