Just had a go at this, surprisingly it highlighted my birthplace even though I haven't lived there for 50 years!

Don't most of us have several (hopefully) helpful BOT Crawlers on our machines? I thought that they were used to index web content. I'm not exactly sure how they work, or what damage the 'good' ones do.
Perhaps you can explain to us what we should be trying to avoid, for our protection. FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)
