I would say: do an install, install all mods you have on the infected version and finally wipe out the db of the new install and import the old one.
That should do.
It may have of course directories to fix.

so i should do import database manually? and then using repair,php to fix the path?
i will try it later.

just a followup. it easier to do clean migration vps > vps than vps > shared. maybe caused by many limitations and no ssh access.
so here what i did:
1. backup database
2. backup attachment
3. install a new elkarte board
4. install all addons from old board. (just a note when i activating 3 from 6 suddenly went white screen)
5. restore attachments to new board
6. restore database to new board. (i just forced it, and the board can be accessed normally again).
7. done with some minor adjustments here and there.
but repair settings is not needed but i checked, all path are correct without any fixing.

The general paths are in Settings, though the attachments path, the smiley paths, the theme paths are all in the db.
There may be some failsafe here and there, but I don't think everything would work just fine. Oh well.
