    Hello,

    One of my sites is showing as unsafe to go to. When i analysed it with google tool, it has 2 trojans related to some russian traffic url site. How do i get rid of those to make my site safe? It is a joomla based site.

    Thanks a lot

    A lot of times you will find strange script / code added to the end of your index / html pages.

    The best thing to do is to delete your site files and upload an unaffected backup copy and change your account passwords.

    backup the database. then delete the files. setup joomla again. go to php admin. drop all joomla tables. then import the backed up DB. then contact google to recheck ur site. hope it helps.

    Also you could try downloading your entire website and doing a virus scan on it and see whats infected. Unless it happens to be embedded in the database
