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?

[destroyer]

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
