ISC reports over 2000 different monitoring systems have been probed by 216.154.255.115 the past 30 days.

So it is just a Bot program on an infected system scanning the Internet for exposed machines to infect.

INETINFO.EXE is a IIS (Personal Web Server) file which loads PWS on your desktop PC.

If you have installed PWS on your pc then this file is a must else, run MSCONFIG and clear the check box in fornt of intentinfo.exe


Cheers,
