Hello hismail,

I'm sorry your Joomla site has been hacked. While checking into this for you, I see that the domain listed is not hosted with us, so we would not be able to view the actual .htaccess file. If you do not have a clean back up of your site which you can restore from, I would recommend removing the block of code that starts with the line:

^.*(google|ask|yahoo|baidu....

and ends with the line:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://quavtrest.ru/space?7 [R=301,L]

Those appear to be the lines causing the redirect. Certain hacks will also continue to rewrite your .htaccess file, so you will want to check for those files in your hosting account:

Cleaning up Joomla Conditional Hacks

Please note, if you are running Joomla 1.5, there are a number of security issues with that version and you should upgrade your site as soon as you have cleaned up the hacked code. For more information on Joomla security, please see:

Joomla Security Checklist
How Joomla sites are hacked

We also have additional information about hacks and steps to take to help prevent future attacks:

Please let us know if you have any questions.
