The simple answer is find out how it was put on there, and block off that avenue. Then do a security audit on that machine... that Might go a long way to protecting you from this in the future. Though this all depends on weither the proxy was installed by a remote or local user.
More info please...

Someone installed Proxy+ on one of our servers (Win2K/IIS5) and left it open
on a high port for spammers. I've shut it down, but how do I prevent them
from doing this again?
