I suggest you follow SOP (Standard Operating Procedures) as if your
hardware was lost.

 - Unplug the machine from any network.
 - Rebuild the OS from a clean media whiping out all disks.
 - Reinstall releavant applications.
 - Install all fixes and harden the box.
 - Reload data from backup media.
 - Verify the machine is now resiliant to all known attacks.

Only AFTER you complete te last step should you bring the system back to
the network.
