Hi,

Bot probing /administrator/index.php. I blocked the IP with ATPro, but this bot still going (no user agent).

Any idea what to do?

Thanks.

ATPro can't make the bot stop trying, it can only prevent it from succeeding. The fact that you're seeing the attack in the security log is an indication that the bot was, in fact, stopped.

Not much in the way of help, just a little reassurance.
