I have an ASP.net website hosted using the Ultidev Web Server Pro.

Every day I get a steady stream of errors generated by my application where page requests were requested and denied. This is obviously someone/something trying to find any exploits on my website. Here is an example log:

Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to protect myself against this?
