You should rather reinstall the system. And try to do that in a more secure 
way. Firewall. Improving security might be a solution but do not trust that. 
Once the system has been compromised it should be reinstalled. You never know 
what was done there.

Heh, I saw similar cases even on production servers of companies who would 
wish to be considered respectfull ;)
