Everything is fine, someone is trying to attack your site - unsuccessfully. The attack works by putting executable code in the from IP address in the header, then tricking older versions of Joomla! to execute the code. Your up-to-date version of Joomla! is immune to the attack and Admin Tools stopped it anyway. There isn't anything that you need to do.
