    The above shows that your server is susceptible to a vulnerability detailed 
    in Microsoft Security Bulletin MS00-057 
    (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms00-057.asp).  This 
    vulnerability is NOT fixed by Service Pack 6a.  You need to install 
    additional patches for IIS.  When you rebuild the server, you should 
    install the cumulative IIS patch described in Microsoft Security Bulletin 
    MS02-062 (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/bulletin/ms02-062.asp)

    Your failure to find a virus (httpodbc.dll) on your hard disk may indicate 
    that your firewall was configured properly or that antivirus software 
    prevented the infected file from being written to your hard disk (if you 
    had antivirus software with relatively current definitions).  However, 
    there are plenty of other bad things that could be on your system that 
    attackers could have placed on your system that would not be flagged as 
    malware by antivirus software.

    ncx99.exe is most likely a modified version of netcat and is not flagged by 
    most antivirus software as malware.
    
    If your machine has been configured this way for two months, you should 
    rebuild it and start from scratch.  Who knows what attackers may have done 
    to your system?
