Mark,
Do you have the FTP service installed and running ? Issue a
netstat -ano command at the command prompt to see if anything is
listening on port 21.
If there is, check to see if you have anonymous access enabled and if
that anonymous account has write access anywhere on your system.
If the answer to the above two questions is yes, it could be that your
server has been 'tagged' and someone may be using your bandwidth to
host warez, etc.
Of course, this may not be the case but it is worth checking for
nonetheless...

Paul Lynch
