WTF? Is someone trying to hack me?

benchiu,

Are you running a server? If not, the URLScan utility would not be applicable.

I'm not currently running IIS, but if I did decide to run a small server, I would want to make sure all the holes are patched up before starting it up.

a link to where to d/load all the patches and fixes would be muchly appreciated, I'd like to bring my dualie online and I hate hunting thru the MS site. >>

Man I guess I prefer the simplicity of Linux. Install then set a cron job for "up2date --update" every evening. The only hassle is staying up on the tripwire database.

Well, it turned out to be a virus. Here's the eMail I received today.

"Hello, thank you for bringing this to our attention, this problem has been resolved. While not having direct access to the machine in question, it does appear that it was "not" engaged in active targeting of any particular machine within your address space, merely that it had been infected by a "worm" and was automatically attempting to spread its infection.

Until we can obtain direct access we have disabled that machine's connectivity. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you. Again, thanks for the notification."
