Hi,

I apply the patch from Microsoft and it doesnt change the problem. I test
this after and the problem are the same

*** WARNING ****
Even if you have no .htw files on your system you're probably
still vulnerable! A quick test to show if you are vulnerable:
go to http://YOUR_WEB_SERVER_ADDRESS_HERE/nosuchfile.htw
If you receive a message stating the "format of the QUERY_STRING
is invalid" you _are_ vulnerable.

This test is to see if you're vulnerable _before_ you apply the patch. After
you install the patch you _will_still get the same message.

Cheers,
