Reynald, I know this is _really_ painful, but when I say you need to
shut down and rebuild, I mean rebuild completely.  As in reinstall.

If you have a second hard drive, this is simple:  Add the hard drive as
your new boot drive, retaining the old one as a second drive.  Install a
new system build on the new boot drive.  Mount the various filesystems
of the old drive under /old.  Now, copy the old /home contents _except_
for dotfiles, other executables, and source code over to the new /home
tree.  Ditto the old /root contents.  Ditto the /usr/local/src contents.
Ditto the system HTML tree in /var/www or wherever.  Copy the old /etc/*
over to the new drive's /root/etc directory (after creating the latter),
so you can refer to the contents (but not trust them).

Then, of course, make very sure you've closed up any vulernabilities,
tighten down the system, and assign all-new login passwords, before 
putting the machine back on the network.  Other details are covered in
the links I sent earlier.
