When I audit my backlinks it shows I have almost 4K backlinks. But I did not create most of them. So now how do I remove those toxic backlinks and how to permanently stop to creating these backlinks?

    If someone is out to get you, then there is no way to remove links that they can turn around and add another day, all you can do is try to combat the negative backlinks.

    I have run across software that claims that will anaylize your site, correct SEO issues, check for bad backlinks, then create disavow file for googe.

    It is really late now, however, if you send me a PM,
    then I can sent you this info tomorrow. I have not tried the
    software, so all I ask if you let me know if it works if
    you should buy the software, and give it a try....

    Negative SEO is not uncommon, you can go to fiver, and
    send a ton of negative seo to any site for $5, and if you
    have access to software like SEnuke, then you can run
    negative seo all you want, and anytime you want....

    negative seo is really common these days.

    I may have a software solution that may help.

    send me a pm, and I will contact you tomorrow.
    I have no idea if the software is legit, however it
    looks like it may look legit, so it may work for you....

    This is a two-step process. First, you'll need to download a list of links to your site. Next, you'll create a file containing only the links you want to disavow, and upload this to Google.

    Download links to your site
    Choose the site you want on the Search Console home page.
    On the Dashboard, click Search Traffic, and then click Links to Your Site.
    Under Who links the most, click More.
    Click Download more sample links. If you click Download latest links, you'll see dates as well.
    Note: When looking at the links to your site in Search Console, you may want to verify both the www and the non-www version of your domain in your Search Console account. To Google, these are entirely different sites. Take a look at the data for both sites. More information
    You'll download a file containing all the pages linking to your site. Use this to create a text file (the file type must be .txt and it must be encoded in UTF-8 or 7-bit ASCII) containing only the links you want to disavow--one link per line. If you want Google to ignore all links from an entire domain (like example.com), add the line "domain:example.com". Your text file can include additional information about excluded links, as long as each line of description begins with the "#" character (all lines beginning with # will be ignored). Don't upload the entire list of links to your site: the text file that you upload is the list of links you want Google to ignore.

    Example
    Here's a sample of a valid file:

    # example.com removed most links, but missed these
    http://spam.example.com/stuff/comments.html
    http://spam.example.com/stuff/paid-links.html
    # Contacted owner of shadyseo.com on 7/1/2012 to
    # ask for link removal but got no response
    domain:shadyseo.com
    If you want Google to ignore all links from an entire domain (like example.com), add the line domain:example.com.

    Upload a list of links to disavow
    Go to the disavow links tool page.
    Select your website.
    Click Disavow links.
    Click Choose file.
    Note: Uploading a new file will replace all previously uploaded ones.

    It may take some time for Google to process the information you've uploaded. In particular, this information will be incorporated into our index as we recrawl the web and reprocess the pages that we see, which can take a number of weeks. These links will continue to be shown in the Search Console inbound links section.

    What's the anchor text like? If someone has GSA blasted you it should be fairly easy to see
