That sounds a bit dodgy.

Do you have anti virus software etc?

Was it an OzPolitic message or a windows notification?

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.

And here I was thinking that at long last a raving nutter filter had been installed.

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.

Thanks Dna (I seem to be saying that a lot lately  Grin)

FD I did a google last night and found this. Reply 12 explains it. I must have hit the log in button or something:

I just enjoy clicking all these links in email that cause major aneurisms for Windoze systems.

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.

I think it is because he had the word "sell" more than 5 times.



Thanks for the 'FYI', FD.

I will try a little editing, and try to re-post.

I think it is a virus or malware causing this.

Thanks Annie, for the link.

I resorted to a 'phonetic' solution.....

I substituted the word 'cell', for the original word 'sell'.
