    Now problem is this robot found /icons directory which doesnt exist !

    but it is amazing that when i do http://historyexplorer.net/icons/ .... it is there

    WTF is going on .... i cannot find that directory in public_html ....

    If you are running on an Apache server I would add the line

    deny from 12.44.181.220

    and watch to see if they keep hitting your site. You may need to deny a range of IPs.

    I don't know what is going on.
