- I am running the original Solar Sentinal on a Joomla 1.5 site. Can I update to Solar Sentinal 1.1 on my 1.5 site as a first step in upgrading to Joomla 2.5?

- No. You have to migrate from J1.5 to J2.5 first

Since the update from J 1.5 to J 2.5 or J 3.2.1 is a migration, you'll just be pulling the core data over. This may help you to avoid the hacking in the future as its sort of a fresh start.
I like this extension for migrating the data:

If you have users, you'll want to make sure they don't have permissions that allow them to hack your site, so check that first.
Then when you migrate data and files in your images directory, make sure you don't pull anything over that is a hacked file.
I'd just pull over the minimum of what you need, Menus, Categories and Sections, Content, Modules, and Users if you need to, but all other stuff can generally stay.
Then its pretty much a fresh start for you and you'd do a new install of a template and extensions from there.
There is always a chance that a sites core data gets hacked somehow, so this isn't full proof, but its a start for sure.

Also, I am afraid that from the beginning of 2013 we no longer can provide support for J1.5 related issues. This has been clearly announced in our blog more than 1 year ago
