Thanks. I’ve installed Bad Behavior. Hopefully this solves the problem.

You should also install one of the other two… that’s what HS said.

Unforunately, by loading Bad-Behavior, I locked myself out of my own web site. Worked fine at work, but when I came home I couldn’t even log into the admin portion of my blog! I had to telnet into my shell account to move the bad-behavior directory out of the plug-ins directory.

DSBL says my cable modem IP was banned about a year ago. Hog wash!
