I looked at the Applock/Web page.

Here's my smartass assessment, "Our software will configure your server,
even though you can and should do it yourself, and charge you $600 for the
service." (The site wants me to register before I can look at "Brochures" or
"White Papers." I don't think so.)

Seriously, Microsoft provides some pretty good information now for securing
an NT server and tools to deal with the absurd state IIS comes in by
default.
