Microsoft+URL+Control+-+6.00.8862

What is this fella up to...?

Getting some weird log entries

It starts of sensible doing a full crawl then moves on to wierd, or weird as far as I am concerned

URI Stem example
/mypage/target=/FFFFFF/FFFFFF/FFFFFF/window.navigator.appVersion;

It resolves here:

inetnum: 211.104.0.0 - 211.119.255.255
netname: KRNIC-KR
descr: KRNIC
descr: Korea Network Information Center
country: KR

Is this a worry?

It's a program wrote using visual basic. I have had a lot of these in my log file, these are a few variations of the numbers 6.00.8862, 6.00.8169, 5.01.4319,

SetEnvIf User-Agent 862$ keep_out
SetEnvIf User-Agent 861$ keep_out
solves the Microsoft URL issue.

Not necessarily a VB program, can be Microsoft VC++ also. You cannot really if it is legitimate or not, as It does not give information on the owner. At least I blocked it. See also
