Below is what you should be following to properly fix your website. If you take the time to read and understand the information presented in the various points and documents then you can do the clean and repair yourself and learn much about your site as well. If you can not do this then I would ask over in the professional forum (I think that's correct)
for someone you can pay to properly clean and repair the site for you.
It is suggested to do all of the following. Failure to follow the suggestions below may leave your site vulnerable to being hacked again in the future.You must state what version of Joomla you were using when when the site became hacked. This can make a difference as to how we approach your individual situation.[ ] Run the
Forum Post Assistant / FPA Instructions
available here and are also included in the download package.
[ ] Ensure you have the
latest version of Joomla.
Delete all files in your Joomla installation, saving a copy of the configuration.php file. Replace the deleted files with fresh copies of a current full version of Joomla (minus the installation directory), and fresh copies of extensions and templates used. Upload the copy of your configuration file.
Only by replacing all files in the installation (including extensions and templates) can you be sure to remove the backdoors inserted and hidden in files and directories More detail can be found in the security Checklist 7 link below.
