help me in understand what they are trying to do and
how to restrict them.

Fishing for the server type.  It's usually easier to look for a 404 file to
get the server version than it is to do a telnet 80 and HEAD / HTTP/1.0 :)

What the person was going to do with that info, who knows.  Maybe they were
looking for an IIS or PWS server to take over and launch an attack against
some other server or servers.

Or maybe they just liked the website and were curious what it was running.

Yea aint that the truth. Several days ago I opened port 80 so a friend could 
test my connection. You know it was not hardly 24 hours and I started seeing 
the very same thing in my access.log. I to was concered, esp when I noticed 
entries like /scripts/........./winnt/system32/cmd.exe and there were a lot 
of those type entries. Well being a linux box I thought that odd. So googled 
around and found that it was code red and chuckled to myself that I had no 
worries.

Be glad you run Apache ;-)
The first two are IIS cracks (virii) and will only infect unpatched Win 
NT based IIS installations. One is Code Red et al;. The second is a 
common one of origin I do not know. The third is ???

The attacks come from random infected systems.  It is unlikely that you
wills see any one IP a second time.

This is WTF.  In other words, not a clue :)  It does not appear to be
malicious, or other than a bad URL or fishing expedition.

The hosts making these requests are not the bad guys, they're just
clueless.  If I have a few minutes, I'll send an email, including log
excerpt, to the host or its ISP.  I cc: my own ISP.  Not enough energy
in the world to help all the folks running MS security jokes.
