No worries... they are 'bots' that collect site information to catalog so when people using Google, Yahoo, etc are searching, their requests can be directed accurately.

That's a good thing for the site!! That's what helps them to get their search engine ratings up. I was always so excited to see on of the search engines making the rounds of our forum when we had it.

Having had my computer and some financial info hijacked twice in my life I guess I was a little paranoid. I did do a search and the concensus seems to be they are a good thing. Just wasn't sure and was kind of a surprise to see them.
