Why does my site say "Design by Zen4Dummies.com"?

I just noticed at the bottom of our website there is a link for "Design by Zen4Dummies.com" . How did this get there and how do I get rid of it. Our site is https://www.maynardstackle.com

I tried to find the answer in zencart support but came up with nothing.:cry:

YOu could use this tool:

admin panel/ tools/ developers tool kit

search for the wording you just asked.

Zen4Dummies.com

here you will see the .php file it is associated with

Should be:
includes/ languages/ CUSTOM/ english.php

I tried the Developers tool kit but it comes up with nothing. I will try that file you have listed.

Thank you very much. I have found it. Can you tell me how it got there. I have had this site up and running for a couple of months now and never seen it there before.

Did you contract out the site or did you build it from scratch yourself...

I built it from scratch. I always did see the Powered by Zen Cart before but today I see the added link.

Better take time to read the hack threads..

https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=118Take time and go through all three question with links..
When you navigate to here do you see anything strange like admin names you never put in??

admin panel/ tools/ admin settings

I went to admin panel/ tools/ admin settings and there is only the one thing in there of mine. I will go to the https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=118 and see if I can come up with something.
