It seems that the invalid visits a couple couple of weeks ago are hitting my site again. Starting on August 6th, there has been a dramatic rise invalid IE 7 traffic.

As a starting point, I've been in contact with AdRoll, since the visits were associated with them the last time. However, it seems that they are not seeing anything out of the ordinary on their network.

Is anyone else seeing this also?

Is all this traffic requesting one page or one image or one file? Are all visits from related IP addresses? I suggest taking look at the access logs to see what the traffic has in common. It may be programmed robotic activity from just a few servers and simple to block - or it could be a botnet harnessing personal computers.
