Hi guys, unfortunately even though you deleted the spaw editor your server will be inundated with requests from bots like this and some of them may be redirected to your homepage which is dependant on your MySQL database.
So, if you wanna stop them from even touching your site then you have to block the user-agent. Blocking all the IP's will just clog up your htaccess file.
so try putting this into your .htaccess file.
RewriteEngine On
# prevent perl user agent
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} libwww [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^lwp
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://127.0.0.1/ [R,L]
If this has any unwanted side affects then simply remove it.
