Crawled 90 of my pages, did not request robots.txt. I couldn't find a web directory at their new site so I wonder why they're crawling, unless it's for searchscout or dashbar.

G says:

Claria (formerly Gator)’s business model is based on installing its software on computer desktops and browsers using questionsable methods such as bundling with downloads such as Kazaa. The adware then serves ads, pop up windows, and sponsored search results over targeted web sites and search results, usually over sites which compete with Claria advertisers.

Clariabot has an identity crisis.
Coming from the same IP today it's called : Diamond/1.0

Yeah, after I banned Clariabot it came back 12 hours later as:
