r_server.exe possibly a RAT (Remote Administration Trojan).  
As Symantec AntiVirus  did not find any viruses on the 
system, I can only assume that it was an installed RAT as 
apposed to a RAT dropped by a virus.  The installation batch 
file for this process is named lolipop.bat which carries out 
a silent install.  On my initial investigation the r_server 
process was not running and did not show up in the open ports 
listing.  After a reboot however it appeared as a running 
process listening on TCP port 8150.  There were numerous 
references to it in the registry.

r_server.exe is from Famatech's Remote Administrator package, and not a
trojan, but it is something I've regularly found on compromised
machines, along with Serv-U.  Also check for components from Dameware
Remote control (dwrcc.exe, dwrcins.exe, dwrcs.exe, dwrccmd.exe).
