No, it says you (or whoever) sent 1 BTC to that address. The rest (2.9995) went to 14rtrzMdMZzojwV5RZG5GaLqJTwNc5dPe5 |

Is your Bitcoin-QT up-to-date with downloading information from the network ? In other words, Is there a green check marker (V shape) in the lower right ?
Yes? Then relax, confirm and I'll explain in the next message.

it is not being hacked when you do not encrypt your wallet a feature built-in to most clients
next time use electrum client, 10 sec install and setup
would you leave your real wallet out on the dash of your car? no

Shameless plug for Inputs - you can take your wallet with you. |

This is what is happening:
You have a few receiving transactions in April, amongst them, one for 3.9995
Then you starting spending in May and June. I'll get to the two in July in a moment.
Look closely at your spending transactions. Do you notice that some of them go to two addresses ?
One of the two addresses is the destination address, the other is an alias for YOUR wallet !
When you spent BTC, your wallet software uses an algoritm to find an incoming transaction result that matches the amount you are spending. If it can't find one, it will use a higher amount transaction result and returns the change back to you via that alias address.
Now look at your last transaction. You spent 1 BTC, and got 2.9995 returned to your wallet !
So your main wallet address shows 0.00 BTC, but if you add up all your alias addresses amounts, you'll get to 3.9995 BTC and that's what is showing on bitcoin-qt.
So, all is good, no worries, your BTC are still yours.
If you want to know more about this, there is plenty of explanation on the net.
