    I'm looking at statcounter and found some suspicious behavior form some visitors. They come from "Secure Computing" and using "Larbin" as their browser and sit at my site for a very long time. I am suspect about content scraper. I would like to block both bot/user agent (Larbin) and their IP range (207.67.117.xxx). Can I do that via .htaccess file? :) Please help.

    In your .htaccess:

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Larbin
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.redirectedwebsite.com/

    order allow,deny
    deny from 207.67.117.
    allow from all

    My site is wordpress and .htaccess already has this one

    Just put your given code before # END WordPress line right? Will this has any conflict between them? :)

    If I were you I wouldn't just block them, because they will find another way to get your content. Rather slightly garble your content when you detect its them via your PHP/ASP :)
