Default Don't think I will be visiting here much anymore
My computer was recently hacked into and hijacked and seriously infected with viruses. I am on my wifes computer until mine gets fixed. I am adjusting my web browsing habits to avoid this happening again. My father in law put a bunch of safety features on my wifes computer including something called WOT that rates web sites reputations and safety levels from excellent down to poor and this site is red flagged as poor. Here is a link to the sites dc junkies rating

http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/dcjunkies.com

Nothing against anyone here but i refuse to let this happen again...sorry to all.

You should reinstall the software and use an antivirus program. Doing a reinstall would restore your PC to factory settings and eliminate anything on your PC. It would be in the same pristine condition as when you bought it. I'm fairly PC savvy and I doubt this site has anything to do with the problems you're having.

If you're using Facebook, there is a better chance that site screwed up your PC than this one.

Yep.
I installed Windows 7 and it DOES give red screens for unsafe sites - but it's never happened to me here.

I have AVG ( free) which is an anti-virus, but because the scan is so complete it almost acts like a firewall.

Windows Defender is now worthwhile ( never was any good before), and that's all I use,
and I use this PC for work ( downloads JAVA appletes ) as fast as a phone call coming thru from my homepage in San Franciso.
( they come thru simultaneously for my work at home job as an #800 operator)

You may have too many firewalls, or it might be infected with malware.
download and run this -see what happens

I use avira which I think is better than AVG........... I occasionally use some malaware software...

I have never had an issue here, nor has anyone ever told me they did........

Screen shots are easy: With the image displayed on your monitor, simply press the 'print screen' button on your keyboard (usually along the top row). Then open your Microsoft paint program by clicking the 'start' 'accessories' 'paint'. Click edit then paste, and the screen shot should appear. Then you can the file save as a jpeg.
