I've been having issues with a few Joomla sites being hacked and used to send out spam. I broke down and purchased RSFirewall and installed it and did everything to get the score up to 100. Just now, I find that my server is backed up with spam in the queue again and sure enough a new eval type script had been uploaded to the Joomla site. I'm about to pull my hair out.. I have no idea how they're uploading these scripts and it's driving me nuts. Please help.

There are many possible reasons why a website is hacked.
This can be other extensions, your hosting provider, even you computer where you open the website.

Few easy tips to protect your website:
Use latest Joomla! and Extension versions.
Do not use the FTP Layer, if you Hoster needs this to be able to install extensions, find an other Hoster.
Do not use Admin as accountname and User id 42
