I notice when I go to the bottom of the index page where the registered users are displayed, sometimes it will show this: Bing [Bot], Google [Bot], MSN [Bot]. What is this or what does this mean??? Thx alot.

Those are search bots that search web pages on the internet for certain content.

Search bots that search the entire internet and all web pages for all content they can find. They then evaluate the pages they find and add it to their search engine database. Logins try to keep them out but they often seem to find content that supposably is not assessable to everyone. You see examples of this all the time.

It all comes down to one rule. If you do not want anyone to see it do not put it on the internet. But you just being on the internet means people can see you. For the most part you have nothing to worry about.
