Can anyone explain what this is to me? It shows as a guest on my site but from what I read on google it says that it is a harmful "site scraper".

It shows up as six different guests on my site all on at the same time. Should I ban this IP range?

It's not necessarily a problem. But you can block the IP if you don't want it scraping your site.

Found this thread about it:

Thank you Jake. What does it mean to "scrape the site"?

 

[Jake Bunce]

Usually it means to download and save web pages.

I really don't see alot of harm in that. I am not dealing with the most serious or sensative of information at my site. Thanks for your help Jake, one less thing to worry about.
