Thanks Trent et al. 3ix have fixed the problem. This is their response:
We have investigated the root cause of the issue and it is a type of iframe hacking from an Serbian IP which got into one of the customised php scripts of one of the clients and then got FTP access of domains and modified the pages.
We have removed that script and the banned the IP and process of removing that hacked script . Your account has been cleaned.
Now I’m changing lots of passwords. Sorry about jumping to conclusions about that script line in your header.php Trent.

The header.php file is from the bbpress-forum template supplied by Trent at http://trentadams.com/2007/02/10/theme-release-onvertigo/#comment-347
I reinstalled everything, including the bbpress-forum theme, but with the anarchy.js line deleted. Now everything is fine. I think you might need to have a word with Trent about the purpose of the onvertigo.com/anarchy_media/anarchy.js

No, the script is still being inserted at the bottom. When I replace the eval in the script with document.write and put the script in a html page, it produces a rectangle -strange. Is this really coming from Trent, the moderator? It has wasted a lot of my time.
Thanks – yes, I found this in header.php:
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://onvertigo.com/anarchy_media/anarchy.js”></script>
I’ll try deleting it and see if it stays deleted. Apparently onvertico.com belongs to Trent Adams, a bbPress enthusiast – hmm.
I resolved this problem by deactivating the plugin “Use Display Name”, ver 0.7.2 by Michael Adams.
My apologies – I looked through the forum again and found the solution – what I thought was my database password was incorrect. The correct password will be the same as in wp-config.php. Then I just had to overwrite db-mysqli.php with db.php.
After installation I had issues due to pretty URLs – I set this back to false in config.php and everything was fine then. I’ll investigate the required .htaccess settings later to get the pretty URLs working again.
I have tried all fixes posted here and everywhere else in the forum (yes, everything), but still get error messages – no installation past Go.
