[users@httpd] Options?

Recently my activity program started to show lots of 404's for / on my
default domain name (it's accutually a DNS based sub for dynamic ips but
anyway)... So I looked at acces.log (combined I think)... And here's how it
looks:

Is this something to worry about? Is it a worm? or is it most likely my ISP?
(I looked it up, all of those ip's comes from my ISP.. but it's also very
common in Sweden so it could be users as well)... Also, what does OPTIONS
mean? I looked it up in the HTTP/1.1 rfc but I can't remember right now...
So.. What is it? And what's propfind?

Also, the requests weren't a year ago, my system time was one year wrong
previously...

But why on earth does it try that on me? I don't run a real server, I only
run for learning purposes... Why so often? And doesn't it realize it gets
404 all the time? I know why, it's cause it doesn't seem to send http-host
header wich makes mod_l33t return 404... Also, there is no orginal
request... Only those... And it changes ip all the time... Feels like a very
BAD worm.. Also, why did it suddenly start? I had never seen the options
method even once before, but after 29/Jul/2003:20:17:42 +0200, they came all
the time... From different ips... And there is only one single link to this
comp, it's located at a dead site dedicated to a freeware game from like 97,
DOS game, called Liero... Seems very wierd to me... Now, what is OPTIONS
supposed to do?

My guess is it's nothing to worry about.  It is a DAV client (see
http://www.webdav.org/) trying to see what capabilities your server has.
This could happen, for example, if your clients open up an MS word doc and
Word tries to check to see if it can save back to the server again.
