List of Bad Web Robots
This list of bad web robots was originally compiled by funender.
Some of these robots are designed to copy entire web sites, which can utilize a great deal of bandwidth. Others harvest e-mail addresses for spammers. Most benefit their owners, while providing absolutely no benefit to the web site owner.
You must decide for yourself what qualifies as a bad web robot.
Here is a list of robots that you may wish to exclude, in robots.txt format:
