CodeRed is a problem for all system administrators and webmasters, not just those using IIS. Crucial time and money is wasted even if the response is just a 404. ncIDABlocker is an ISAPI DLL that automatically processes and drops requests from offending CodeRed servers.
If the "default.ida" file is called, the component closes the session with the client without logging the URL in the IIS log. This prevents statistics tools from reading the long URLs.
