On the following page, I list IE 6 user agent strings (please read the rest of note before going there):
The problem I'm facing, however, is that one of those strings seems to have created a pop-up to another site
I'm assuming the site is of the spammy kind but this is the first time I've encountered this problem and not been able to fix it. The issue is that it seems none of the UA have javascript in them and yet, the pop-up fires-up.
This is the first time I've encountered this issue and I'd like the help of this forum to do two things:
1. Identify the culprit so I can reclassify is as a spambot.
2. Get an understanding of how that works so I can program an exception in my classifying program.
Anyone has any idea? I've been trying to figure it out on my own for the last few days but no luck (and my GoogleFoo is failing me on this one).

I don't quite see what you mean, are we talking spyware somehow?
Than list the log lines; having first taking the following precautions:
1) XXX the Class D of the IP Range
2) Modify any folder or page references to your site to dummy names.
Perhaps then somebody may assist. URL links personal websites are even in most instances when used for reference are a violation of the charter.
Today with many folks using PHP, Java and server side scripting, it's relaitively easy to redirect somebody based on an input page.
Best thing users may do regarding Java is to either stop using Internet Explorer entirely ( I have) or replace the MS Java with Sun Java.
I rarely see a pop-up in Firefox, even when I want to :)
