I am using Awstats 6.1 on a Cobalt RaQ550. There are some very strange URL's in the 'not found' page. Such as: "www.volvoclub.org.uk/scripts/" that does not exits and was referred by "www.volvoclub.org.uk/" which is genuine, and "www.volvoclub.org.uk/templates/subSilver/images/" that does not exits and again was referred from a genuine page. There are many such instances.
Can someone explain this please, they are filling up my Pages Not Found section.

In 99% of the cases it's either one of the following:
a) Logfile-Spammers
b) Worms checking for a vulnerability of your site
c) Mass-Mailers checking for a forms vulnerability
You really shouldn't concentrate on these all too much.
