That is the infamous Code Red Worm. Your YDL Apache install is not affected,
except by loss of bandwidth.

This is a search engine politely asking about what parts of the web site are
open to further scrutiny. If you don't have a robots.txt file it will
continue to spider your site. This is harmless, except that your URLs may be
linked in search engines.
Some good resources I've found: www.linuxdocs.org (for general Linux security
guides and HOW-TOs) and www.wdvl.com (web development issues) and
www.securityfocus.com (security alerts of all shapes and sizes, plus some
good articles).
