This IP (amongst others) is used by TalkTalk to scan websites visited by thier users, ostensibly for viruses, but as th evisits occur after the user, this is questionable. The privicy implications are obvious.
In my October log so far (after only 9 days) I already have over 1,100 access entries from these people. I am thinking of blocking their IP in my .htaccess file.
hi - this talk talk ip just sat at the "guest" login page of my forum and stayed there... it was scanning/ up 2 no good... i just banned it's ip....

DNSBL* - is a list of IP addresses published through the Internet Domain Name Service (DNS) either as a zone file that can be used by DNS server software, or as a live DNS zone that can be queried in real-time. DNSBLs are most often used to publish the addresses of computers or networks linked to spamming; most mail server software can be configured to reject or flag messages which have been sent from a site listed on one or more such lists.
WHOIS** - is a query/response protocol that is widely used for querying databases in order to determine the registrant or assignee of Internet resources, such as a domain name, an IP address block, or an autonomous system number. WHOIS lookups were traditionally performed with a command line interface application, and network administrators predominantly still use this method, but many simplified web-based tools exist. WHOIS services are typically communicated using the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Servers listen to requests on the well-known port number 43.
** Approximate Geographic Location - This is NOT the exact geographical location of the person/organization with the given IP address. However, this should still give you a good idea about the area/region where this person/orgranization is located.
