Clasione,

Microsoft URL Control - could be anybody, friend or foe. I think this bot also looks for formmail.pl or cgi, to gain access to the website or collect email addresses. I have seen this snoop bot in my logs before and decided to disallow it with robots.txt.
I believe you can stop this bot by .htaccess as well, but in order to avoid blocking to many visitors I haven't gone that far.

You might do a whois check or reverse lookup on the IP or domain on where the bot is coming from, just to be sure.

Just to ley you know, programmers (e.g. visual Basic) have
access to a number of controls which can be used in the
development of software applications.

Such controls include a web browser control, or something called
the Internet Transfer Control (Inet) through which web
pages and their html code can be downloaded.

When an application/program using the above control accesses
your page then it leaves the "Microsoft URL Control" footprint.
