Given the amount of time (and some money) I spent getting and using
"anti-hacked box" tools, that is great advice from Len (as usual).
Worse, any other boxes that trust that box must be considered tainted,
too.

The most conservative position is that a hacked box is untrustable and 
should be wiped and re-built.

I expect Win32 crackers are as good as the Unix crackers and have
installed 
their own binaries for several Windows .exe's and .dll's.
