    A spam bot with this exact user agent on my forum "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)"

    Crashed my forum.


    Whats the exact code I can use to block it in the htaccess file? Thanks.

    Is this how I should write it?

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Mozilla/4.0\ \(compatible;\ MSIE\ 6.0;\ Windows\ NT\ 5.1;\ SV1\)$
    RewriteRule ^.*$ deny.html [L]
