When I logged on this morning I saw that there was a Google [Bot] also logged on. Are we under attack :o

Hello Paul,

Thanks for the heads-up -- no sign of foul play on the Admin Panel. I will keep my eyes wide open though.

Regards,
Chet

7 days. It`s spirdering for google internet search.

What is interesting is I ran into the Google bot on once as well and it was as a registered member.

I let Chet know and he said the bot is not registered. . .

The power of Google! :D

After a tiny bit of research, this/these 'bots' are apparently nothing to be concerned about - it is the method that search engines use to search and catalog websites. You can read more about the Googlebot on their webpage here:
