Haven't read all the details on this yet but thought I'd mention it just 
in case.

If you have a Windows server, then I would presume you would have a 
firewall anyway - if not then its about time you did. Unless you need 
remote database access it is worth blocking access to 3306 remotely and 
tell mysql itself not to accept remote connections.
