IIS/NT Tips - ::$DATA Security Fix
To protect your ASP scripts from being downloaded by a user appending ::$DATA to the script name in the URL, install the fix from Microsoft available at: http://www.microsoft.com/security/bulletins/ms98-003.asp. If you are using NT4 SP4 or above, then you should not have a problem, but it's worth checking.
