To start with, you need to wipe the hard disk and re-install the OS
from scratch. There *aren't* any short-cuts. There are alternatives,
but unless you *really* know what you're doing (and if you did, you
wouldn't be asking us) these will either:

a) take longer than re-installing from scratch, or
b) run the risk of leaving back-doors intact.

Any configuration files which have been modified since installation
need to be *carefully* examined (a single character in the right place
can create a back door). Don't just keep the existing files.
