The other day, I visted my forum and noticed when I typed in the address that it told me that it had been infected with a virus, and told me not to visit it - and no I did not visit it. Does anyone know why this happened?

We can't really tell you why or how it happened, but what you can do is reupload all your files (download and delete ./inc/settings.php, let it regenerate, and delete ./inc/config.php and make a new one using code from here: [wiki]Inc/config.php[/wiki]), just so we know that all of the MyBB files are fresh and clean, and then go direct to ./admin/index.php and check all of your templates; open any that aren't default (when the template name is in green) and check no crazy javascript has been added anywhere, particurlarly in the header and headerinclude templates; usually when someone's forum is compromised there's some weird code added to a template.
Also take extra security precautions, CHMOD config.php to 444, put a .htaccess rule to block access to it, change your admin password, make sure it's secure... little things that may stop things like this happening.
