If it's on a site that you visit (as your question implies) there isn't really anything you can do except inform the website owner.

As Zagga, the site installed a new script version,
malicious people could enter url/install.php and compromise the site, so the site operator should, and did not, delete install.php.
Dont enter any personal information to this site, they cannot follow the simplest security, so won't handle your info any better.
