It's the defeater you need to touch, but there's already a workaround out for it.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing?? I keep reading about this CopyBot stuff. Does that mean someone is copying something??? Just was wondering if I should be worried?

No, the defeater is simple script which sends IM to everyone in its vicinity with message that the copybot-powered AVs interpret as command to log off. It's some very weak sort of protection, but can be easily circumvented...

How can I disable this Copybot defeater? It's driving me nuts on my residential land. Every 10 seconds I am being spammed. I'm assuming someone has rezzed the prim somewhere either on my land or very close by. Have taken a look around my land, but can't see any strange prims that weren't there before. Can anyone help me turn it off or get rid of it?

Open chat history, find the item name in drop down list, and press "mute" button? ^^;;

Also, this is not a solution. There are versions out now that won't respond to an object IM.
