Well, sort of.  Once someone has put something on your system that you
didn't give them permission to, it's their box.  Period.  So even though
they might have uploaded something as a non-privileged users, it's not too
far to them rooting your system.

Back up your data, rebuild, and restore data.  It sucks, but it's really
the best idea.
