Recycler security issues on IIS server

One of our webservers that sits outside a firewall
recently was compromised. In the recycler folder we
discovered a nest of folders that contained DVD images,
hacked games, etc. We deleted the files and applied the
latest upates to the server.

Is cleaning up the folder and applying the latest patches
enough? Should more steps be taken? I personally would
like to see the server put behind our firewall, but this
is unlikely to happen.

Any help is appreciated.
