If you're running UNIX, no, don't worry about it.  It's just annoying.

As for what it is, I forget it's name, but it's either Code Red, or
Nimda, or ...  It's one of those IIS worms that was going around a while ago.
Either the requests are people probing, or (more likely unfortunately)
it's unsecured and cracked systems trying to propagate.

I get these hits too.  I just ignore them at this point.
