did change passwords (cpanel, admin, sql ...ect) effected sites?
also, if have wordpress phpbb or other programs running on same server creating hole too. inspect sites , reset passwords.

had similar problem 2 1/2 days in, still fingers crossed. have server tech stuff outlined on page http://docs.joomla.org/security_checkli ... rver_setup

make sure steps on page http://docs.joomla.org/security_checkli ... or_defaced

pay close attention /image folder , other restore methods.


if have tech doing you, send them links, double check make sure did all.

good luck
