hmmm...what did you start another thread ?

Personnaly I would reinstall everything from scratch. You dont know what else has been installed without your knowledge.

You will then be able to secure your server *before* connecting it to the wild.

Close services, use iptables, use good passwd, tripwire...

See http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linuxsckbk/

Normally you dont need linux AV. Well, I never used one and I dont have security problems...
