What Does This Mean?

Folks,

I am running Apache 2.0.51 on RH Fedora Core2. For the past two days I've
been getting this in my log, running many many lines. It appears to be some
kind of intrusion attempt. What does it indicate? -- thanks.

This is some windows related worm or virus looking for other
Win hole-riddled machines.
Put a conditional logging in your configuration to avoid them
in your logging.
