This is not a "new CodeRed"...

I found logs like below

1.    traced for ip address
2.    checked root.exe, which used to back door in previous code red worm
3.    /x.ida VVVVVVVVVVVVV  as new attack pattern
4.    This server is one that was contagious in previous code red attack, and 
it was already shut down. Accordingly, the attack was failed (Normally, IIS 
may stop when ida buffer overflow is failed) 

Also, it has log on print buffer overflow and it seems like being included 
in an automated script 

This is log

Someone is probing your box for the .ida/.idq vulnerability and the 
"leftovers" of an improperly cleaned-up Codered.C or CodeRed.D 
attack.  Cleaning CodeRed by hand, people are likely to miss the 
root.exe's in msadc and scripts and/or the open /C and /D virtual 
roots.  The first six entries above are probes for those failures.  
The seventh is harder to diagnose from here, because if it was an 
overflow attempt, we'd have to see the full request (with the 
"payload" code that is after the overflow) to know for sure what it 
is supposed to do.
