Description of my issue:

I get this in my raw access log:

If you look at Your text to link here... don’t seem to be a nice guy... What can I do to get rid of it?

That's what the .htaccess Maker's "Block access from specific user agents" is for. Add that user agent ([email protected]) to the "User agents to block, one per line", set "Block access from specific user agents" to Yes and click on Save and Create .htaccess. Problem solved.

Thank’s
I’m always a little nervous using the htaccess because when I save it I lose the site momentarily... It probably make sens — But a little scary... I end up with a white page and a bunch of numbers & signs and ok after few reload...

I wrote only Ezooms — I guess its still good — How the naming here work any part of the bot name should be ok or?
