A “bot” is a small computer program that can hijack your website or infect your computer. Bots are used to spam website comments and contact forms with advertising, or to take control of your computer to mine for data.

It is difficult to protect your computer against every possible bot attack, but you can take some common-sense measures to stop most bot attacks. Writer Bio
