Hello everyone,
I took a look at my source code yesterday and realized my site had been hacked. It contains a lot of spamlinks like this <div style="display:none"><!--79444239-->When <strong><a href (... etc)
Check : www.festivals.be/festivals-belgique/ just after the </head> !!!
Can anyone help me to remove this s*** and be sure it doesn't happen again ?
Thanks a lot in advance
Greg

- I suspect you have a rootkit so talk to your webhost to see if they can help you.
- Please reply with a direct link to the issue & create a new thread for each new issue.

Thanks but can you explain a bit what a "rootkit" is ?
What can my webhost do ?

- I have many site and domains installed on this hosting and this one seems to be the only infected. In case of a rootkit, wouldn't all sites be infected ?
