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.

Sounds like a run-of-the-mill exploited anonymous FTP server to me. You got
a world-writeable C: drive as ftproot? That will cause problems.... Use 'dir
/x' to get MS-DOS 8.3 filenames, then you can use any other standard DOS
commands to examine/remove it. Probably full of pirated software and movies.
Check your FTP logs.
