Blocking Links From Being Indexed in Opencart

I seem to be receiving a lot of 404 errors from Google Webmaster tools of late. Is there a way to prohibit these sort of links from being indexed? and where do they come from?

Appreciate if you could shed some light on this matter. Thanks in advance.

I am on opencart 1.5.4.1.

These are the 404 errors

http://mydomain.com/product/search&filter_tag=Purse&sort=rating&order=ASC&limit=25
http://mydomain.com/product/search&sort=p.price&order=DESC&filter_tag=&limit=25
http://mydomain.com/cart?qty=1&id_product=323&token=bfcf19e76ed4a88abd8508e8dc097a70&add

I've also included the following entries in my robots.txt to no avail

User-agent: Googlebot

User-agent: *
Disallow: /cgi-bin
Disallow: /*?limit
Disallow: /*&limit
Disallow: /*?sort
Disallow: /*&sort
Disallow: /*?route=checkout
Disallow: /*?route=account
Disallow: /*?route=product/search
Disallow: /*?route=affiliate
Disallow: /*&keyword
Disallow: /*?page=1

That looks like you are using an extension that is trying to rewrite ugly url's to better/more friendly ones - or were at one point. You should use .htaccess to rewrite the bad URL's to the correct ones rather than just blocking pages if you can. This will help your site
