Hi Redlion. I have also found some dubious traffic coming from an ip address linked to Colt in Ireland. They seemed to have spidered some links I had submitted to Google during April and I was wondering if it was someone checking to make sure that all of the links resolved. Each of the links were clicked on with only a few seconds between each one. Any info about this would be great. Thanks

I'll drop an email to a very nice person at Google UK to get some clarification on this, unless AWA or GG can help out. Shak

I've had problems with certain European ISPs / click fraud (a2000.nl out of the netherlands for instance). I've had pretty good luck managing it by just removing the effected country from my campaigns (especially if there not a major source of sales) One interesting trick to try is see if you can telnet into the IP on any of the common proxy ports - ie 80, 8080, 1080. You can also poke around Google for things like 'proxy test'. If the IP appears to be a proxy - it's probably someone bouncing click spam off it - the spammer could really be any place on the planet.
