Go to Microsoft Product Support Services and perform a title search for the words HTTP and 401. 
Open IIS Help, which is accessible in IIS Manager (inetmgr), and search for topics titled Authentication, Access Control, and About Custom Error Messages. 

I have checked the NTFS permissions in the website and found that everyone group has read and execute privilege.

Answer 1

Have you added appropriate permissions to the files in the wwwroot.

The easiest way to do this is to right click on the wwwroot folder in Explorer and then click Properties. Then on the Security tab, click the Advanced button. On the next pop-up check the "Replace permissions on all child objects" box and click Apply.

OK out of all the dialogs and give your site another try.
