Do other people see this or just you?

[vinns9]

yes , every one that is accessing that contact form is seeing that .

does this mean that contact form has injected values to the database?

[gws]

It does sound like you may have been hacked...

[vinns9]

is there any way i can check in the correct database table?
the contact form is made out of Visforms, but im not sure where in the DB are the values that are displayed there, stored. any help would be appreciated

cheers

Sorry I thought it was joomla's contact form. I don't know Visforms so I cant guide you. I would ask the developers of Visiform first and if no joy then goto mysites.guru who will audit your site for hacks,the first audit is free.

i had to restore from a clean backup. but im not sure how to protect my system from injecting into the contact form
the value that was used is : initial-value from the contact form(that would display with what you need to fill the field off) any suggestion on that? like a plugin or extension i can make use of?
