OK nope you haven't been hacked since http://fantasmanero.altervista.org/first.bat has a LOT of echo commands

Perhaps your firewall rules needs checking that allowed that to be downloaded in the first place.
Ok - Myself I would be worried. Worried for 2 reasons:
1) Either someone had access to your PC and ran this script manually
2) You have a trojan that allows people remote access to your system.
I had a look at the bat file and it infact has the potential to do some nast stuff:
Some basic bat stuff
create a file called _sys.ini with some FTP commands (Some crap). This wills the system to download a file called wget.exe,.
More crap
Run the FTP command file created above and download wget.exe
Run WGET.exe and download syspatch.zip and pkunzip.exe.
More Crap
Move the files to the help folder
Yes, more crap
Make a dirrectory, backup your help files and extract the newly downloaded files
CRAP!
Not sure about this one, it looks like it requires user interaction.
Run something from the newly extracted files.
Delete all traces
Start a service??
Here is what the programs default config file looks like
Please, run a virus scan ASAP - there are many free ones available on the web!

I dont think its creating an FTP server - I think its creating an IRC server???? None of the files are registering as viruses on my PC here at work.

maybe a IRC system where you can download and upload files
Thats what I am thinking.

and I wouldn't be surprised if the person can modify and delete files as s/he wishes
I took the file to a secure DMZ here at the bank and ran it - the program is:

Would that be a spambot?
well, there you have it..
old pc
server
my guess is a CSS vulnerability in IIS (specifically, the UNICODE issues from a few years ago). your web server was hacked.
something like http://yoursite/scripts/../../winnt/system32/cmd.exe/c+dir+c:\200
should give you a directory listing.
if it does, then you found the vulnerability...and to be fair..it is very very old (circa 2002/2003...)but it is the only one I know where you can directly open cmd.exe and force it to do stuff.
go get that machine patched. via windowsupdate
p.s. url above mangled slightly so it doesnt work properly....dont wanna give people any ideas.

I agree with ZA_medic, run a virus scan. The "syspatch.zip" downloaded by the script contains THIS.
If nobody has accessed that machine physically, it's been remotely compromised (win2k, some critical patches/updates from m$ were not installed)
If that pc is on a network i'd take a close look at those machines too.
PS. Maybe you should consider turning an old box into a firewall like IPcop??
