I was checking my router logs and came across this:

I did a quick web search and they are affiliated with the searchme.com website. A few months ago, there were a lot of complaints about their spiders causing heavy traffic on websites.

Thing is, this is on my home wireless network. Does this mean anything or just a false alarm?

If it's only three entries don't worry about it. Bots scan the Internet all the time. You can, however, check to see if your router is properly stealthed with Shields Up!.

Thanks for the link. It says I am stealthed better than B-2.

Must be just a fluke.
