Hi there since a few days a strange link appears in my left column on my home page.  This only when I switch to English language.
In spanish it doesn't show up.  I'm not able to locate in which file I have to look for this link so I can remove it.

It also shows when checking out for payment with paypal.

I'm afraid my site has been hacked...

need URGENT HELP

anyone has a clue?

I assume your saying your categories menu etc is changing.

I suspect you are useing the tmp dir for you cache on a shared server, you must stop using that, do this:

Create a folder in your root directory(public html) called my_cache. Set 755 permission on that folder.
In your cache directory insert this /home/my_site/public_html/my_cache/

changing my_site to your server name
