Don't even try to fix, with the system rooted you cannot trust it.
The only safe course of action is to wipe the system and reinstall it.

If you need the data on the machine and have no current backups, boot
from a rescue CD (giving you a _clean_ environment) and copy the data
off, then wipe & reinstall.

Kind regards,
