That's normal!
If you like to ban the MSN Search, look up his IP.

hi there destroyer,
no am just merely asking 4 an explanation. is it a web crawler or something?
RE: Who's Online : search engines??? - destroyer - 2006-02-05
Yes, it collects info for the msn searchbot.
It's like Google's GoogleBot. It collects info for http://search.msn.com
So that's kinda good for your forum, more publicity
