Incorrect traffic reporting - Plesk Control Panel

We are running Plesk8.6 - Centos 5 x64 on a few of our shared hosting servers.

We have an issue where a domain reported 16TB!! of traffic on the control panel for September.
Interresting enough webalizer doesnt reflect the same trafic , rather 2.7gb which on par with previous month's traffic.

Investigating the domains traffic for Sept in the PSA database, the 27th reflects the traffic under http_out.

Investigating the Apache access log files reflects hundreds of funny entries(probably hack attempts), which Plesk seems to interpret as traffic amounts which Sawmill and Webalizer doesnt.

41.133.74.226 - - [27/Sep/2010:13:57:41 +0200] "GET /images/specials.gif HTTP/1.1" 200 1088 "/specials.php" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; InfoPath.2; 9986066903; update/02025; 666604582703; 978806703; 89770703; 979904903; 96690603; 7879067903; 887806903; 896702903; 669601803;

Has anyone come across anything similar, and is there a way to prevent Plesk/Apache to calculate these log entries as traffic. How come Plesk reflects 16TB where other stats packages reflect the more believable 2.7Gb
