Actually, we do.

I had problem with banning string MSIE 1, with which I tried to block old MSIE 1 users. But, today there are MSIE 10 and MSIE 11, both browsers also were blocked, as they contain "MSIE 1" in their UA. As I remember, to block only MSIE 1 we should use this string: MSIE 1. (dot at the end), as it is identified with MSIE 1.0.

I wrote about it Ban Spiders thread.

We need to be very careful what string we block, unless we get blocking innocent users.
