Hello, i've noticed that sometimes there's words in my site that are taken over by spam. The workd is linked to another site, thus my site is being spammed.

It's strange, because it is not opened to visitors yet. How can i get rid of this problem?

I'm running J2.5 and VM 2.0.12f.

Thanks.

Sorry, i didn't explain myself properly maybe? When loading product details layout the word "iva" (VAT) is sometimes linked to another site which is not related to mine at all. Refreshing the page makes it dissapear. This happens in Firefox mainly.

How can prevent this from happening?

are you using some IVA component? plugin? do you know the word?

have you scanned your computer??

Sounds like browser malware, rather than the website. Something like text enhance malware - http://botcrawl.com/how-to-remove-text-enhance/

Certainly not an issue with VirtueMart.
