    Can anyone here confirm that this netblock:

    Block start 89.234.68.64
    End of block 89.234.68.127

    is owned by Symantec as follows:

    ----------------
    Block name SYMANTEC-NET
    AS number 31122
    Country IE, Ireland

    Description Symantec Corporation
    Parent block 89.234.64.0-89.234.127.255
    Updated 2018/07/28
    ---------------

    If so, then why is an IP address within that block periodically hitting
    my website, using the following as the User-Agent:

    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv1.9.2.8)
    Gecko/20100721 Firefox/3.6.8
