Today I have sent a little Ethereum to my address but it instantly transferred to another address. Later, I tried again sending 0.002 ETH and the same. It also transferred that same address instantly.

How to get solve this?

Perhaps you have a virus on your computer that automatically replaces your address with the hacker address. Check computer antivirus. I also advise you to change the wallet, perhaps attackers also got access to it.
But this in my opinion is very strange, the problem that I just encountered. When sending eth, it automatically sends it to another address. I don't think it's a virus on the computer. There might be something wrong with the myetherwallet.

It doesn't matter which user-interface he's using to manage his wallet. If his PC is infected by malware or he entered his private-key on a phishing-website, the attacker got full access to his wallet.
Still it's weird that the tokens haven't been stolen and instead the attacker seems to monitor the wallet and automatically sends all incoming transactions to another address.
Might be worth a try transaferring enough ETH for the transaction-fee of the tokens in 1-2 months or even later - don't know which tools the attacker is using but maybe he'll stop after some time.
