I noticed a likely spambot in my log with the user agent:

"MFC Foundation Class Library 4.0"

On its first visit it went RIGHT for my guestbook directory, which is typical of an evil spambot from hell :-)

It's the first time I saw a visist with this user agent name. Might want to take note for future reference.

That one visited one of my sites yesterday, too.

MFC is a Microsoft programming library. That's probably a homebuilt crawler using some MS sample code, or a library-wide default user agent.
