    Have you installed wordpress using fantastico / softaculous??

    change your wordpress theme. If link is common in all themes, then you will need to install wordpress using manual method.

    Where are you installing it. If it is a free theme, then it might be hardcoded in it and removing that would be unethical as well as difficult. If you are looking for a free theme then use one from the wordpress official repository as they are GPL and you can remove the link by editing the footer.

    You can remove it from wp-content/themes/twentyten/footer.php. I need to say your theme looks fishy.

    Look into your footer.php and remove the link.If the footer is encrypted, you can’t change a thing.
    To remove encryption follow these steps.
    Step 1

    Locate and open index.php

    * Find the include code for the footer. The footer include code is usually like this: <?php get_footer(); ?>

    Step 2

    Add this comment code on the top and bottom of the footer code:

    <!-Wordpress footer code starts here–>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>
    <!-Wordpress footer code ends here–>

    Save the file and upload it to the server.

    Step 3

    Load the theme in a browser. View the source code by clicking

    View -> Source (If you view in IE) or Ctrl + U (If you view in Firefox)

    Step 4

    The source code in between <!- WordPress footer code starts here–> and <!-Wordpress footer code ends here–> is the source code for the footer.

    Now, all you need to do is open footer.php and replace the encrypted code from earlier with the actual source code.

    After this, you can then start to modify the footer to suit your own requirements.

    Seems some plugin is adding it. Try disabling each plugin one by one and check your site. You can then know which plugin is adding the code. Try to find an alternative for that plugin.
