: Is my site hacked, or does Google have problems? Possible Duplicate: Titles in Google results contain spammy prefixes I have a webshop online and I have some problems with redirecting

@Mendez628

I agree with Dunhamzzz (although can't comment yet as not enough points).

A search using Bing and Google (even on different TLD (eg, co.uk,.com, .in etc) fails. So, searching for the site from an "unheard of in the west" Chinese site (Baidu) shows it works fine.

Treat as urgent and hope you didn't leave password information in your code.

You are definitely hacked, hackers recently have been employing methods which make the site appear normal to a direct user, but when coming from Google will redirect to their website.

You basically need to change all your passwords, and then sift through your code. As your tags state you're using joomla you should be able to replace all the joomla core files with freshly downloaded ones. As for any themes/edits you've made, you'll have to check. Good things to look out for are base64_decode and eval calls. If you're loading templates from the database don't forget to check their too.

TBH in this situation it's normally best to do a fresh install of your CMS and start again just so you can be sure.

If you are on a shared host also notify them of the issue because it could be the fault of another site on your box!
