Line 1: Looking for your Robots.txt file

Other lines: Looking for files and images which no longer exist on your site. They MAY have never exited on your site, but somewhere on the Internet, it would seem that a person has linked to those URLs at some point in time.

the sites fresh out of the box (1 month) and never had any of the files listed .. seems a lil strange

I am getting the same thing (see my post [webmasterworld.com]).

MSN bot is going crazy on my site requesting random files that have never existed. I initially though that it was a spoofed user agent but the IP address belongs to Microsoft.

Anyone know what's going on?
