Your right and your wrong. If Microsoft would have released this before,
this would have stop a lot of problems with virus. This attack by the
"Nimda" is much worse to me as bandwidth problem in that the infected
machine, I had no problems with my machines yet but the Other infected
machine in the same class B subnet keep sending the following
(Admin.dll%20e:\Admin.dll /winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir Etc...). Well
the Imail web server has to answer this inquiry with a refresh page in
my case Killerwebmail which is lot bigger than IIS 404 page. Both are a
problem, so this software solve this problem by sending a very small
response or redirect to the attacking server.

All? hehe .. all it does is do some filtering and bounds checking of
against requests and posts to the server, as well as filtering some of
the
available options. Do not mistake this as a conclusive measure against
all
attacks, it's only a filter. Many good admins have taken these same
precautions years ago, with custom isapi filters.
