I had an IIS 4.0, SP6a, NT4.0 box get sort of hit - everytime a PING from ain
infected Internet box tried to access the server, the WebService shut down.
I'd restart it, only to have it go down again.

It was frustrating watching it happen, because the only thing I could see
happening at the same time as the server stoppage was an IUSR_computer access
in the Event Viewer.

Then I read the security mailing lists and knew what it was.

I believe the only thing that saved the box was the fact I unmapped the .idq
and .ida ISAPI filters as well I run the root drive on NTFS separate from the
web folder.
