    I'm seeing the same thing. I also noticed one of the Code Red probes came at
    the same time as a port57 scan from the same address yesterday.
    
    On 11/1, I reported seeing very large IIS vulnerability probes that also
    coincided with a port 57 scan.
    One reply I received was that it was probably someone using "FxScanner". See
    the following URL for details:
