Steve have you noticed talktalks so called homesafe bot(s) following you around at all ?
I did some site surfing over the last few weeks and when ever i visit the 3 sites i own talktalk is there.
i also created a few testing sites (on my own server i host) and kept the links quiet and guess what talktalk is there too.
after some insane searching i found nothing really just a lot of ppl moaning talktalk is following them and a so called quote from talk talk them selfs stating they follow no one but they do have 2 robots that monitor webpages that there customer's visit and they claim them robots scan the pages (cough bulls)
i have added lots of things into my spider page in the acp and it never picked up when talktalk visited
But i struck gold today the below will detect both of the bots if you want it
Bot name: TalkTalk [BOT]
Agent match: .NET CLR 3.0.4506.215
These are the only matchs that seem to work of course there is plenty of posts stating bla bla bla but none worked for me.
