    Hi:

    Is it normal to have the following links on the bottom of my WP website?
    How can they be removed?

    Thanks,

    Kenny

    If your site has those links then you’re hacked.

    Please remain calm and give this a good read.

    When you have successfully deloused your site then consider giving this a read too.

    Thank you so much for your response and suggestions Jan. Fortunately, my case was an easy one, and one that ALL WP SITE OWNERS SHOULD BE AWARE OF:

    All of the many SPAM LINKS ON MY WEBSITE ARE PLACED THERE BY the W3 TOTAL CACHE plugin.

    When I deactivate the W3 TOTAL CACHE plugin, all of the spam links disappear from my website.

    Needless to say, goodbye W3 TOTAL CACHE plugin, forever!

    Thanks again Jan.
