Sorry to hear that your Joomla website installation may have been compromised.

Take a look at this Joomla documentation:

"Security Checklist/You have been hacked or defaced"

http://docs.joomla.org/Security_Checklist_7

Also...

I don't know if this will help you or not, but perhaps you might find a post I made for someone else in the Joomla Forum helpful.

Take a look at this Joomla Forum post:

You must state what version of Joomla you were using when the site first became hacked. This can make a difference as to how we approach your individual situation.

[ ] Download and RUN the Forum Post Assistant / FPA Instructions available here and are also included in the download package. Post the generated results in your security/been hacked topic.
Do not download the FPA from any other website or links found on the Internet.
