This has been an ongoing problem with YaBB notice boards in past versions - meant to be fixed in 2.5AE. - the current version in use.

If its only happened once I wouldn't worry.

If it persists a malware scan could be worth a try especially if nobody else is being affected - very low probability though considering YaBB boards are a bit natorious for this.

Reply #18 - Jan 26^th, 2012 at 7:45am I've found the best way to keep out spammers is to close the window immediately you've finished using the site. I apply this to all the forums I visit. It's possibly overkill, but it seems to keep my computer fairly clean. I also delete my browsing history a couple of times a day.

Ah, you've discovered the Yabb community. They are pretty good. You get better support for some of this free software than you do for software that you pay money for, and it's mostly volunteers.
