Hi Mark,

The pattern is the UNICODE Exploit. Depending on the HTTP Response 200 (Success) or 404 (Not Found) you may be affected by this exploit when running a unpatched Version of IIS 4.0/5.0. Have a closer look at your Webserver Logfiles. If you don't see the HTTP Response you may prefer to configure the logfile output with extened logging options for future analysis.

You can take good prevention from this and several other attacks by applying all security patches, using Microsoft's URLScan and do some hardening on your internet server(s).
