It is! It's the Code Red worm or a derivative. However this only affects
Microsoft IIS, and not the Linux/Apache that Raqs use. You're safe to sit
back and watch this one happen. We ourselves have logged about 100 of these
requests over the past 6 days.

If you get bored, you could notify the people running these IP addresses
that there's most likely an executable been installed on their website that
allows anyone root-level access to their webserver!

That's quite enough, thankyou :o)

Hope this helps
