Like Dale says, you're probably looking at reinstalling everything. There's 
some forensic debugging info at the honeynut project that might help you 
figure out what got exploited.

Obviously the first step is to get it OFF the net until it's cleaned up and 
secured. If they know your IP, you can be assured they'll be back.  

Installing some security logging software like portsentry might give you some 
advanced notice that they're workin on your machine.
