malicious vermeer RPC packet

[Lee]

Web site died last month

Found /_vti_bin/_vti_aut/author.dll in my stas

When viewed I get this
method=

status=

status=262148
osstatus=0
msg=Unknown CONTENT_TYPE: "".
osmsg=

Looked it up
What would this vulnerability let a malicious user do?
A malicious user could exploit this vulnerability to crash the RPC service
on a Windows 2000 server and render it incapable of responding to service
requests. This vulnerability would provide no capability for an attacker to
gain administrative privileges on the server or to gain unauthorized access
to files or other resources on the server.
How can I remove it I have contacted my hosts, but not had a reply

The author.dll is used by FP to open or publish your site. If the file is delete then you will only
be able to use FTP to access your live/remote site.
