AV spider

Do I want to know what this is?!

Hi:

I have seen this little bugger running amuck on my server recently: brillo.pa.alta-vista.net

Please tell me this does not do what a brillo pad does to scum on dishes!!

Brett has it listed at www.searchengineworld.com/spiders/altavista_boxes.htm as just a regular old av spider...Nothing to worry about.

Thanks for the plug Q. Yep, that is the 'good' scooter that appears to go after newer submissions. I think there are 3 versions of The Scoot that are running (the good one from brillo). Flame me if you must, but I think it is time we start to come clean about what we really know about the modern day (last six months) Scooter behavior.

Do tell, Brett. I for one won't flame you. ;)

No no, that's ok. Don't worry about me. I'll be ok. ;)
You go first.
