It's a trojan.
Make sure you have the server updated with all the hotfixes from MS.
When you reboot the trojan will reinstall itself. 
Go to the system32 folder and sort by date and see which files has been
changed after the reboot. Typical filenames will be:
cmd.exe
cscript.exe
debug.exe
ftp.exe
mshta.exe
net1.exe
net.exe
rcp.exe
tftp.exe
wscript.exe

You have to compare these files to the original files. One consistent
characteristics is that all replaced files are 239KB. The file size and the
modification date is your ticket.

Search the registry for the name of those files, you might have to open the
.ini that configures the trojan and look for filenames in that file. Remove
the registry entries (if it make sense to you to remove them), rename or
delete the infected files and copy over the original files. Reboot. Check
the above. Reboot again. Check again. Reboot etc...

The first thing they do is to test the speed of the server from different
countries and the spec of the server using an application from Winternals.
You will most likely find hidden directories - look for one called "sys" -
with the latest movies and games and other stuff. 

My impression is that the trojan is mainly for storing warez.
