see:

it's a http request filtering tool that runs as a high priority isapi 
filter in IIS, blocking incoming requests that are considered "risky" 
according to the settings in your urlscan.ini file.

Every IIS server should be running it, or something similar. We've been 
running it for over a year alongside CF5 without any problems and upgraded 
all our servers to version 2.5 a few months ago without a hitch. To use it 
with CFMX you'll just need to ensure that you allow requests for coldfusion 
files (I haven't used CFMX, but doesn't it have a new .cfc extension for 
CFCs?). As far as I recall, the default config will allow requests for all 
extensions that are not in the DenyExtensions list so it should work "out 
of the box" for CFMX as well as CF5.
