Having been in this boat I can say I sympathize.  Your only safe 
solution, especially given the knowledge of this hacker is a total 
reformat.  With that not being possible I would suggest taking off 
the essential files to a backup, clean installing and then replacing 
the essential files that you saved.  Afterwards Tripwire and a 
Security Plan.  Again all learned the hard way.  It sucks but it is 
the only way.

Best,
Kevin
