I would check quickly for these files, 

http://vil.nai.com/vil/virusSummary.asp?virus_k=99177
Presence of the files: 
c:\inetpub\scripts\root.exe 
c:\progra~1\common~1\system\MSADC\root.exe 
d:\inetpub\scripts\root.exe 
d:\progra~1\common~1\system\MSADC\root.exe. 

Also make sure your virus protection is up to date, it should let you
know if the back door put in by the latest code red is on your machine.
