But because I have severalt 1000 daily which let my logs explode, I have greate a file in the Web-Root "default.ida" because this is not a WORW it is a FileSharing-Tool. Now the request do not more produce 600 Bytes bytes but only 150 Bytes. Bisous MichelleNow THAT sounds like a good idea..... thanks!
I also created a file default.ida and my logs aren't as hectic. I also created blank files for most frontpage files for the worms that search for those. It did stop most of the 302 and 404 errors produced by the worms. If this is incorrect and should be changed, please let me know.
Thanks,Kevin
