Just because those are in the log does not mean it is infected. And I would never
tell a customer to switch to another product for the reasons you have stated. EVERY
platform has MAJOR security flaws. No server that I have ever managed has been
infected by any of these worms or exploits.

Looks like either a hack attempt or one of the
"worms" that propogate through IIS vulnerabilities.
Use "Find Files" to look for "root.exe" on your
server. If you find it, you've been hacked or
infected.
Best option:
Move to a webserver that doesn't have quite so
many security flaws
If you HAVE to stick with IIS:
- Reformat the machine, reload the OS
- Upgrade IIS to version 5 or later
- Apply the latest cumulative patch and any
patches after it from:

ity/current.asp?productid=17&servicepackid=0&submit1=go
- Follow Microsoft's checklist for IIS 5:

of the right side pane)
