 * Ok. so i got hacked…my site (when i went to it) started redirecting you somewhere
   else and who knows what info it was grabbing. I reinstalled my index.php file
   and it seems i can get onto my site and view ….but i went to /wp-admin/ to log
   in and it still starts fwding me…..
    -what files should i replace? -should i 
   do a clean install? what about my old posts? -how to i stop this from happening?
   thanks!!!!!!

 * You are victim to SQL injection. You need to export your posts as an XML file,
   then delete the SQL database and to a completely new install. Then you need to
   install WP 2.6.1. The SQL injection issue was 2.5 specific, but not in 2.6+
