Chatroom Logon Bomb?
I tried to login to a chatroom that I was a Member of and the page below showed up. My PC went crazy. The page below cascaded and cascaded, my Task bar filled up until the buttons were merely lines. I couldn't stop it. Shutdown wouldn't work. it just filled my desktop with page upon page of this information. I did a hard shutdown with my power button. when I turned it back on, the pages just kept loading.
I went back after some minutes and my Browser IE9 was useless, no networking capabilities. I had to delete IE9 and reload from a CD and completely start over in a recovery. It took two full days to finally resolve this issue and get my browser back working along with other issues.
Here's the page I did recover:

What happened? I'm A+ Certified but this one was new to me. Was I Hacked/Attacked or What?
