What is <Rejected-By-UrlScan> appearing in my stats?

And how do I get rid of it?

[Macro]

The stats are DeepMetrix LiveStats 6.2, the server is a Widnows server and the site is a new site done in Fronpage 2000 (as in my profile).

This week I've apparently had about 100 x <Rejected-By-UrlScan>

I have seen a thread or two here mentioning <Rejected-By-UrlScan> but they are talk about things like cmd.exe etc which I haven't the vaguest idea about.

Is this something I can ask the hosting company to fix? If so what do I ask them to do? If it's something I've done is it easy to fix?

Thanks for any help.

it's caused by the URL security lockdown tool

Thanks graywolf. Is this something I ask the host to sort out at their end?

usually seeing that message is a good thing it means an attack was blocked from hitting your server. Depending on your enviornment configuring the tool can be a little tricky. If everything you need is working the way you expect leave it alone.

Aha, OK thanks graywolf :-)
