About Webrescuer
I believe I do have the magic recipe to get ride of Web Rescuer with Unix System.
I managed to find the code to get error 403, and just want to give you the code that really works:
207.150.160.200 - - [23/Dec/2004:20:44:16 -0500] "HEAD / HTTP/1.0" 403 0 "-" "WebRescuer v0.2.4"
The difficult part in scripting it is the "-" before "WebRescuer v0.2.4"
That monitoring service was trying every hours before. As soon as they were unable to hit my website, I got an email from alert@mail1.webrescuer.com saying : Error Alert Your Web Site is not responding. They said in their e-mail that I was registered with them, but I never did. The scam is probably a company that did registry for our web site without our permission for a Free Monitoring Service with WebRescuer, and that company had a password...
If Webrescuer was the one hitting the web site, it should have been Webrescuer web site IP address but it was not the case, it was Sagonet.com with Whois:

Understand I did see unknown.sagonet.net, would it be them that did registry at our place, I cannot tell. I know for a fact they were not helpful after my email.
About the codes to remove them once for all :
Copy and Paste the following in htaccess.txt, transfer it in ascii using FTP software, then rename it
.htaccess :
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^WebRescuer\ v0\.2\.4
RewriteRule ^.* - [F]
Hope that this will help you all.
