You will always get people hunting for holes in your sites server, most common is the formmail calls. One of my sites gets about 30 formail requests a week (formmail, formail, form-mail .... and I don't use any 3rd party scripts)

If you don't have the .exe on your site dont worry about it, just someone sniffing around the net looking for a hole. most are looking for ways to send out spam, or hack your site.

9 out of 10 times the IP given in yor logs is a proxy (not their real IP) so tracking and complaining is more often than not a waste of time.

You can make up a txt file report, and add the line of code in it when you get them, order by IP and if you get, say more than 5 requests for bad stuff from one IP (match 100% not just first 3 groups of numbers) block them from your site via htaccess
