How old are your kids, maybe not so innocent eh? You probably setup W2000 with all the default options, so have IIS running on there, with unpatched vulnerabilities. Check the event log that may give you some info! If not....... If you have not done too much work, on the machine, start again, install with no default options, and then add what you need as you go along, check MS Security guidelines for setting up that machine. If you have done a lot of work, I still think you should maybe ack this up, and rebuild from scratch. OR, check for Trojans, viruses etc with one of the freeware scanners. Also, if the kids were using an account with admin rights, they can change whatever passwords they want, so maybe restrict them down to a user account after all the apps they need are installed.
