how do I block ***ALL*** spiders/bots/non-human users?

[orthohin]

I had it set up previously and somewhere along the lines a server update has deleted my old .htaccess file that blocked all index spiders and everything, I've tried searching on google for how to do this to no avail, it seems I can find "how to block bad spiders" but, I don't care what they are, I want them all blocked.....

any assistance would be appreciated....
