Hi, I've been running Apache2 on a Linux machine for a while and I keep getting the following line in the 'access.log' file.
61.7.241.230 - - [20/Sep/2013:22:57:41 +0700] "GET http://www.baidu.com/ HTTP/1.1" 200 457 "http://www.baidu.com/" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/5.0; SLCC2; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Media Center PC 6.0; .NET4.0C; .NET4.0E)"
Q1. What does this mean?
Q2. Is it a security risk? Q3.
What can I do to prevent it happening?
Appreciated any help given. |
