Dave,

This is usually the result of something trying to get into your web
server by sending a load of control codes. I believe it is an attempt to
exploit a Windows web server weakness. The problem is that the control
codes fill up the apache log file and webilizer cannot handle the
record.

I usually ignore the error.
