    This is quite generic... Do you have any other information you can provide about the symptoms of the hack?
    I work for an engineering firm and have some good friends who are IT Pros...
    If you can provide me some more info I may be able to help you out.

    Hello WinYourWayKyle,

    Thank you. This has been solved.

    It was a hack program that changed the admin setting of the site and the paypal address.

    You shouldn't trust anything in a system that was once compromised. It's possible that other backdoors or changes were left in the site. Although this recommendations are for a specific vendor, the ideas are universal -
