Site highjacked, trying to repair redirect.

I have been using ZEN for about a year. I am on version 1.3.8(a) There are currently no addons running other than standard paypal integration.
I have looked though all forums and FAQs and have tried to find this issue myself. But I have not found the issue yet:

My site has been highjacked by one of the "drug dealers" that pointed my REGISTRATION to a message base. I have contacted that site and they have disabled the user, but the link remains on my site making it impossible for new users to regsiter.

My shop is located at https://www.ancientpathway.com/ishop . When you click Log yourself in, you will see "buy this...." where the registration should be.

I have attempted to change templates, but that did not help and i am unable to find any reference to this highjack in any of the files.

Does anyone have any ideas how i can fix this quickly and easily?

You need to apply the security patch and compare all of your files to a fresh download. Examine and replace or delete any that are not as they should be.

Another thing to do immediately is fix your store name in Configuration > My Store. That will take care of this and some other problems like e-mail subjects:

Re: Site highjacked, trying to repair redirect.

You are both amazing. I have been looking at this for 3 days now because i hate to lose. I have repaired the error, notified my host via direct chat (they have had other such issues and are thankful for the repairs), and i am currently doing a 100% verification to assure that no other files have been modified.

Thank you so much for your assistance. It unfortunatly fell under "kiss" (keep it simple stupid). I was looking for the high end hack when they had just gone after the store name.
