    I looked into this a few months ago and I think I concluded that it's an email address harvester.

    (I have it banned)

    Yep, looks like a home-grown bot up to no good.

    I have to add, you need to ban it, I get massive amounts of BW taken from it.

    Originally I though since it was hitting a new site, it was actually MSN but from a post here, I learned it wasn't MSN.

    later,

    Interesting - I wonder if that's a VB COM control that someone used to write a harvester.
    Are all the requests coming from the same IP?
