Your Joomla version is likely to be insecure unless you applied the security patch just recently, and that VirtueMart version is very old, and all VirtueMart 2 versions before 2.6.22 are insecure. It is possible, if this suddenly happened, that you site has been hacked. Alternatively a server update, eg of PHP, could cause problems with old J/VM installations, so check with the host.

I would make a full backup copy of the site and install it on a local server to look for signs of hacking, but more importantly to update the software and the template, as that template will not work with Joomla 3.6.x of VM3..18.x

See http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=118683.0

Check if your host changed anything first.

A patch for J2.5.28 to fix the latest security issue is here:  http://virtuemart.net/news/latest-news/478-joomla-security-release-3-6-5-and-patch-for-joomla-2-5-28

You could possibly get away with updating your VM version to 2.6.22 without needing to make template changes  (files availabe from http://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/files) but test on a backup copy of the site to check all is OK before updating the live site.  That would give you time to work out how to update to current versions, and time to source an updated Joomla template.

Great answer, yeh it is important to understand that you need at least j2.5.28 plus fixes and vm2.6.22.
