What's this?: _vti_bin/owssvr.dll

I was checking my web stats and saw this page accessed 10 times, but I never created a folder or file named this. It looks like some Microsoft thing, but when I ftp to my web server, I don't see this file. What is it, any ideas?

I know I always just delete those folders and files. What software are you using?

them files/folders are used by microsoft frontpage, they are save to delete providing you dont publish your site via frontpage.

/_vti_bin/owssvr.dll

It is an attempt to gain admin rights (hack). Do a search for it on G.

I found this on another site.

You're being visited by a user who has installed Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer, and who has enabled the "Discuss" toolbar in his browser. When that toolbar is enabled, the browser will automatically query for these two files when visiting each site, to determine whether the Office Server Extensions are installed.

Recommendation: do nothing. Allow the 404 errors to happen.

If you are on a Windows server, you can install Office Server Extensions (available in Office 2000) and then the /MSOffice/cltreq.asp path will contain a valid file, allowing visitors to discuss content. Wouldn't that be neat?"
