Every time I run the DN page now it sets off alerts and my browser goes into safe mode (only on this page). I know there is holes and scripts can be run off here - has someone hacked it finally?? Also have had emails from 3 dinkers with a url on them only - no i didnt click them.... but kinda weird cause usually they at least usually say hello lol.

Just letting u lot know incase you need to watch your virus protection

What I find more disturbing is that when my Internet cuts off, it's still able to access The Dink Network (sometimes YouTube too), but not any other site.

But that does sound weird. Well, the e-mail part does.

I don't think these spam/scam emails coming from Dinkers is a result of someone hacking the DN; Most likely just their use of the prons that caused them to get that.

Easy way of telling is to see how many other people they sent it to; If just you and it looks valid, google the page just in case.
Or simply ignore the email entirely as I do

My emails are not spam. I'm offended you think they are.

I sent you spam because I wanted you to buy something from me. Why didn't you?

lol ExD, was two separate issues : P emails AND Dn page loading...

Dont think it was the DN after all think its avast being anal about its new sandbox shows a steel covered screen with an avast logo at the bottom, and a green arrow to continue, irritating as heck cause it suspends what i am connected to at the time and even, GET THIS, even has the cheek to disconnect me of - OMG - POE!! NOOoooooooooo highly unacceptable

Get rid of Avast and get ESET instead.

How about you set Avast to accept the DN? I'm pretty sure you can configure it to do so.
