Unfortunately, we cannot provide any support for this. We are just a messenger letting you know that a serious security threat is there. If you are using a vulnerable version and you do nothing, your web hosting account will likely get hacked. We may have to suspend or disable web hosting accounts that are hacked or do not upgrade or resolve this issue.
If you require support for this, you may want to contact your web developer or web designer for more information. Additional support may be found directly at the VirtueMart Support Forums:

Again, we are just advising you that a threat exists. If you do not know what to do about this, I encourage you to seek help at one of the above forums.
