If you are on Board index and scroll down to Who's online
I see strange purple names like Baidu [spider], Google [Bot], psbot [Picsearch]
It's not a bot virus? Because those can totally distroy your harddisk. (it happened to me with the name rbot).
I really like to know.
What are those purple names?

They are indexing spiders from search engines. No need to be afraid, they're not harmful at all. It's just Google adding all our new ramblings to their massive archive of web junk.
