Might not be hacking, but here's how to know for sure:

http://securityadmin.info/faq.htm#hacked
http://securityadmin.info/faq.htm#iislogs2
http://securityadmin.info/faq.htm#iislogs

I would also recommend installing URLScan that comes with IISLockdown, free
from www.microsoft.com/technet/security, and checking the urlscan.log file.
Also, the free SIM from www.gfi.com is also helpful, and/or searching for
files that have changed in the past day or three will give you similar
information. The free MBSA from the Microsoft URL above can check your
system for missing patches and insecure configuration. IIS stopping can be
a result of ANY buffer overflow from ANY vulnerability, so there is no one
single patch that can protect you from every restart... and also, even a
100% patched system can still be vulnerable if you haven't also followed one
or more hardening checklists such as the ones at the Microsoft URL above.
You might then check these out as well:
