new worm/virus???



My web server is getting slammed with GET requests for cmd.exe, root.exe, 
etc.  It started this morning at 9:30am, and has been constant, and from 
all different sources.  I can't find any news on the web.  Does anyone 
know what's going on?

Below (and attached, to preserve line breaks) is a clip from my web logs. 
It shows all the various GET attempts from one source (nt1.mdc.net).  
I've informed mdc.net (a.k.a. "Netway" in N. Andover), but the attacks 
are widespread.
