Today i received a email from google explaining that my website contains some of the hidden text and url and google is going to remove it from indexing.I was really shocked because i don’t try these type of things to rank in google thereafter when i opened my website i got some malicous links which were hidden.
“In order to preserve the quality of our search engine, pages from “sitename.com” are scheduled to be removed temporarily from our search results for at least 30 days.”
My that site was made in joomla so i was more concerned about security and all that issues because i have bad experiences with past joomla websites.I got into my website dashboard and then through template manager i removed the code from my webpages.
Now i was looking for the possible cause of it.I looked for keywords in database it wasn’t there.Then i looked for some extensions for joomla which can help me in it.Though there were many but i was looking for a free version.
GuardXt was my choice for it.

GuardXT performs some health checks on your Joomla site.
The “heart” of GuardXT is a file system check (best scheduled as a cron job), that regularly monitors changes of your files. Additionally various security checks may be performed (e.g. check Joomla configuration, PHP settings etc…).
The results are presented in an easy to use and understand interface and most security issues can be fixed immediately from the interface.
GuardXT consists of several modules:
* Security News: Receives the JoomlaXT security news and displays them in the admin component
* Version Check: Checks for latest version of Joomla! and GuardXT!
* File Guard: Checks your file system for changes, detects unsafe directory and file permissions.
* Configuration Check: Performs some basic checks of your Joomla configuration
Now when i looked for those websites in yahoositeexplorer it showed more than 95000 link backs though i think google had identified it and had not given any sort of candies to it.
