What's going on in this ISAPI filter?

This ISAPI filter intercepts all page requests before ASP or anything else start processing (see the OnUrlMap() function). It checks the URL to see if someone appended a "::$DATA", and if so, disconnects the user and logs an event you can view with Event Viewer (Administrative Tools menu). If the URL is fine, the ISAPI filter passes processing down the pipe.
