Strange files not found

Hi there, we recently set up a new dedicated server and installed CF8.01 Enterprise in JRUN4 mode. We also added some of the latest security-related patches after running our site through hackmycf.com.

However, in the administrator application logs, we are constantly getting the following errors:

File not found: /fn_movequeue.cfm The specific sequence of files included or  processed is: C:\inetpub\vhosts\default\htdocs\fn_movequeue.cfm''

File not found: /perfm7.cfm The specific sequence of files included or processed  is: C:\inetpub\vhosts\default\htdocs\perfm7.cfm''

File not found: /mt1/mountx.cfm The specific sequence of files included or  processed is: C:\inetpub\vhosts\default\htdocs\mt1\mountx.cfm''

File not found: /gpmtalog.cfm The specific sequence of files included or  processed is: C:\inetpub\vhosts\default\htdocs\gpmtalog.cfm''

There is nothing in our code that calls these files.

I talked to the server administrator, who said that it is related to our extensive use of ColdFusion built in Ajax features, which calls certain files in CFIDE, some of these files are apparently missing.

I don't know how they've become missing nor how I can get them back or where exactly they should exist.

If anyone has struck similar problems, I'd be keen to know about it.

    These files are not part of the ColdFusion install. They were created by your programmers or some other programmers, and installed on your server. You may want to look at your web server log files to determine who's calling them and in what context. You might actually want to run a CF script when these files are requested, and have that script log more information about the request.

    Or, for a faster resolution....

    Rename the files and wait until a programmer screams that their app is broken. That will be your answer!

    (Sorry, I misread the question and assumed that these were files that DID exist, but you did not know why!)
