As I said I would like to remove it for security reasons that everyone who views source would not see that joomla is being used.

I think including the generator tag is fine for bloggers, but not for corporate sites. A potential attacker can use these details
to narrow his attack window and focus his attacks to the known platform.

edit:
/libraries/joomla/document/html/renderer/head.php
you will want to find the following code (~line 167):
$strHtml .= $tab.'<meta name="generator" content="'.$document->getGenerator().'" />'.$lnEnd;
you can turn it off by simply commenting the line with // at the beginning:
//$strHtml .= $tab.'<meta name="generator" content="'.$document->getGenerator().'" />'.$lnEnd;

I know this is an old thread, but I am posting this link here in case anyone finds it looking for an answer. This is for J!1.5:
http://www.theartofjoomla.com/home/19-d ... r-tag.html
Or just do a search in your favorite search engine, and you will lots of the same or similar answers on lots of different web sites.
The beauty of adding this to your template is that the core files are left alone, so nothing to remember to change when you do a J! update.

In Joomla 1.0.15, the code is located in /includes/frontend.php line 195. It says:"
$mainframe->addMetaTag( 'Generator', $_VERSION->PRODUCT . ' - ' . $_VERSION->COPYRIGHT);"
Comment out, or adjust to your liking...
I was looking for that myself. I have a feeling I really really need to consider J1.5...

Even if it's an old subject, it is still searched. I saw few plugins in joomla extensions site that removes that meta tag and even a Joomla header variable that is created when using Gzip.
Removing only the generator meta tag by placing $this->setGenerator(null); at the top of the template file, works!

it s better to use a plugin for this so you don t modify every update you make
