You are using Mambo.
These are Joomla forums.

Joomla 1.0.12 is quite safe.

For all security information (some are also good for any CMS), look at the stickies
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,76551.0.html

thanks for your advice...

I read the links you gave me and ended to put a line in the file "extcalendar.php"
I put the sentence in the beginning af the file (will you confirm if I am on the "right track", I am very new working with programming). regards Peter from Denmark:

defined('_VALID_MOS') or die('Direct Access to this location is not allowed.');

and so on...

You might have a few unsafe programs running, mambo 4.5.3 will likely need to be upgraded. You need to go to this forum. They also have in depth knowledge of the extcalendar component.  http://forum.mambo-foundation.org/index.php
