Hacking attempt on website gifs?

I got 6 error messages this evening from my website as follows:

This guy went through lots and lots of my gifs according to my log files. But he tried to run the "vco...."thing on these 5 gifs and one of my javascript files, which generated the 404 error messages. I can't find anything on Google about the "vco...." thing. I'm sure he was up to know good as I had an http insertion attack attempt on my website this morning but my blocks I have in my .htaccess file stopped that. He also went through my SMF files, looking at lots of the gifs and javascript files there.
Does anyone know what he was attempting to accomplish with the "vco...."thing? Thanks for any info.

Very weird, looks like they were scanning you for some type of file and didn't find it. First I have heard about vco (Google didn't tell me much either) but I'll keep searching and let you know if I find anything like this talked about elsewhere.

Thanks Mitch. I checked my files as best I can and can't see anything that was changed.
