New bot coming from SAVVIS

One of my sites started getting hid hard a few months ago by a strange bot that appears to read javascript and therefore messes up both my Statcounter stats and my google AdSense stats. After a bit of searching around I discovered it was connected to Kavam.net, Limelight Networks, SearchME and that it was a new spider (Charlotte) from the visual search engine SearchMe

Yesterday I noticed a new visitor in my stats using the same set up, Mozilla 5.0 and Linux, but this time it was coming from a different IP ange 165.193.254.13 which appears to come from SAVVIS (SAVVIS Communications Corporation)

I posted about it on Jill Olkoski blog, and she has written more here, which is a better place to post comments or read more about any updates.
