No, you don't need it urgently, otherwise you would take care about the detail of this question.
What information do you want to remove? Basically, a Web user don't get any redundant information unless you put it there intentionally.

I have tried this.
It works for removing "X-AspNet-Version, and X-Powered-By " information.
But, to remove "Server" information, it needs IIS version 7.

Is this useful to you...?

For removing X-Powered-By info, that link was useful.
