I can't login to it and don't know where to start as far as correcting this. I was set to upgrade to the new 4.0 software in a few days and so this is devastating for me.
Thanks

First off, I would advice anyone against clicking the link to the infected forum for security reasons.
That said, try to do a clean up of all your vb files by overwritting them with a fresh set from the vb package, your version. Then do another thorugh checkup of all your server space and database and if everything is ok upgrade to the latest version. Also change all the passwords for your admin, ftp, cp etc. And as last but not least, inform your host about this so they can check their logs and see how exactly they got in.
