This is probably a flavor of Hacker Defender. The bottom line is a
miscreant has remote access to the box with admin rights. You should format
and reinstall the server.

The attack vector could have been a exposed vulnerability, or a compromised
admin account. It is likely that an MS04-011 vulnerability was exploited so
you may want to confirm what day 835732 was applied.
