 * Hi all,
 * I have experienced a refuse from search engine to index my site due to 403 error(
   forbidden). The server support team replied this might be the result of a security
   settings.
    The BWPS is a great security plugin, but can it cause problems like
   this, and how? Has anybody of you experienced this and how the problem resolved?
   Thanks for replying.
