Microsoft URL Control is used by many different types of programs, some are nice and some are not. In many cases, it's an email address sniffing bot, so you would want to probably ban the IP address it's coming from, not necessarily the whole thing. I don't necessarily think banning it in the robots.txt file would work. The Microsoft search engine robot is called MSNbot. (Copy Shortcut)
