Strange server behavior.

I have a server 2003 box running IIS that seems to be walking through URLS. I was looking into this machine for some other odd behavior when I noticed this. This is a live Web server so no one would be on the machine (in the typical sense anyway). Most of the URL's appear to be commercial in nature, but cheesy, like what you would see in SPAM. All that is in the requests is a GET and there is no user agent. On the box, tcpview shows that the requests belong to w3wp.exe. AV scans on the box and malwarebytes are coming up empty. What the heck is this?
