Looks like an exploit of a cross-site scripting vulnerability in your
join.php form. http://xpl.netmisphere2.com/CMD.gif is the cracker's PHP
script that gets injected into your form, it's not an image at all.

You need to turn off that form until you can get a fixed version of that
application. And of course reinstall that system.
