Well, I'm going to be the first (and surely not the last) to tell you that this is not "a weird one."  We can't offer 
much advice, as you haven't provided any logs, but you obviously have (or had) a spotty IIS install, as you've likely 
been hit by CodeRed, Nimda, or the like.  As far as the tagged directories are concerned, that's likely due to a 
mis-configured FTP server (also under the blanket of IIS).

You can find information on fixing and patching both of these problems on http://microsoft.com/security.

Cheers

Keith

Got a wierd one here.

Win2k server, SP2
IIS 5.0
SQL server 7
ipswitch imail 6.x

Its definitely been broken into. PC-cillian bas picked up a few nimda
files, and there is a directory c:\tAGGEd with various subdirectories
under it, and an unopenable file C:\TaGGed By Ca$e.

I'm working on getting a disk image up for perusal, but that might take a
few days.

Anybody seen this yet? Searching securityfocus, McAfee, Google, and a few
other places has come up dry.
