Many of us know that Isabelmarco has been under massive DDS attack. Can someone please explain to me what a DDS attack is and can it affect us if we access the website that is being attacked? I just want to be safe than sorry. I'm still skeptical about PTC sites. I know many PTC sites are scams. But has anyone heard of a PTC site that infects your computer, or worse...takes information from your computer? Thanks.

That's a distributed denial of service attack, and basically it means that basically someone somewhere is hammering the server with requests over and over again.
Usually this is done by a bot master who has a number of PC bots under his control, and they all hammer at the server non-stop, which overwhelms the server.
