Greetings
I got a message from my side is that your site is spam. To solve the problem I have done the following tasks
1 Disconnect all users have access
2 I deleted all my emails
A few days later I received another spam message again. This time I did the following things.
1 core changed from 1.5 to 2.5
2 Remove some Shell files
3 transfering site to a new folder and redirect it
I have been in the mainstream, the core Joomla 2.5 only template I've moved the old site to site, plus the last site that it has changed direction and contract in the new folder. But again I received a spam message .i dont know What can I do please please help. Thank you

Hello :)

To clarify, are you receiving SPAM, or do you mean your Joomla script is sending out SPAM?

Thank you.
