This is the age old IIS worm working its magic. It's either Code Red or Code Red 2 or whatever.

In any case, you can safely ignore it if Tomcat is the one reporting it. And unfortunately, you're unlikely to get anywhere by trying to contact the offending server owner or ISP.

Just ignore it, as long as you're not using IIS, or you have IIS patched up.

this IP address.

There is someone from xx.xx.xx.xx trying to use an IIS vulnerability. If it's realy intranet your admin should have a look at the offending pc if it is infected by a virus. (Not shure out of the head if this is nimda, code red or what else)

This vulnerability is not affecting tomcat.
