Hi there jeremy, thanks very much for your help again. I found a post this morning about the same issue and a fellow has found a solution to it http://www.silverstripe.org/e-commerce-modules/show/23393. Not sure if it'll stop the server crashing due to robot visits but will at least stop the order numbers going up so quickly :)
