I get this message only when I log in to my home. Funny thing is, I don't get it all of the time. Can someone tell me what it means?

It sounds like an automated advertiser. It could be either an IM, Or an Object that delivers this message when you are close to it. If it happens to you when you Log in on your land, Check adjacent Lots for a Vending machine selling a device of Similar description. If you find one, ask the Sim Owner, or the vendor owner (Politely) to either Modify it to remove the verbal advertisement, or Move it a Little farther from the Border of your land so your arrival doesn't trigger it.

Based on the !quit part of that message....it looks to me like some new version of an anti Copybot program. I don't know why someone would be using an anti Copybot item because I thought Second Life disabled Copybot for good with one of its updates.

As I understand it, that update disabled all the old copybots. However, that !quit anti-copybot was useless even before LL put out that patch, as the mk2 copybot ignored such typed commands.

In any case, there is no technical reason at all why a blackhat couldn't make a new copybot, now its open source. It's still against the tos to use such a program in all obvious instances of its use, but there's no reason it couldn't be made.
