Never heard of it until now.

So does anyone know how to block this spider or get rid of it as from what i have found by just adding it to your robots txt file will not keep it out.

If you have created a specific robot file for this bot and it didn’t manage to keep it out, we might consider that this bot is not very safe and should not be neglected. I have never heard of it and don’t have any info unfortunately. The only way to keep it out of your website is through a firewall configuration on the server which might prevent it from accessing your web page.
