spam

I was notified by my isp that one of my machines is sending out spam. This happened about 3 months ago on windows machine running cygwin that was hacked due to an SSH vuln.

The hackers setup IIS and SMTP. I cleared out the machine and all the services are disabled so I think that machine is okay

I am wondering if there is any other way to identify which machine it could be coming from?

The ISP has NO useful information such as source port, destination port, destination IP... nothing.

I am running DD-WRT on my router, Windows 7 PC and a Windows XP PC.
