This time, only a HEAD request.

Googled "LinkSweeper/1.1" and about the second or third results page I found a warez type site with porno for ads.

Went immediately into my .htaccess files to figure out why it wasn't being banned. Changed [OR] to [NC,OR].

<Pssst! here kitty, kitty> :)

This line solves perhaps a half dozen issues

SetEnvIf User-Agent ^Link keep_out

SetEnvIf User-Agent ^Link keep_out

Where? .htaccess?

Is there a certain position, or rank within '?' file?

I've read some of the material on the SetEnvIf stuff, but I'm a bit sketchy.

Thanks.

Yes. htaccess.
I have my SetEnv's just above the line:
order allow,deny

This works great although I'm an amateur. I use begins with and ends with however have seen some other options discussed here.
The SetEnv reduces line bulk and also by using bot names reduces changes of innocent IP's being denied.
