It's possible it's either a bot where you havent actually got the right user agent string or if it is a plugin clash it will only possibly be VSA advanced forum statistics......my money is on the UA string

Sorry, I've never kept an updated list as it's a personal thing, there will be users of this mod that may be able to share theirs with you, but you'd be better of customising your own for which bots are allowed information from your site or not.
