OK so, last night I was searching for stuff I shouldn't have, and I clicked on a link I shouldn't have. Suddenly a blue screen hits me in the face (the first blue screen of any kind on this new computer), some sort of memory dump goes on, and the computer reboots. The computer booted up normally, I immediately run a Malwarebytes scan, nothing bad shows up. The only thing that seemed to change was that the My Popular Sites record from Internet Explorer seems to have reset. Anyone seen anything like this before? What might have happened? I'm panicking that maybe someone copied my saved password information. I changed some of my more important passwords just in case.
(For the record, I'm on an HP laptop with Windows 7 and IE9.)

Something on the website could have caused a plugin or the browser to crash, ending up in the blue screen. The Popular Sites being erased might be caused by the browser crashing.

Hey, it's ok to name the file hosting site in question, right? No actual links to files or anything. Just want to see if anyone else has had issues with that site, or if they haven't had any issues with it at all. EDIT: OK, the website, uh, rhymes with 4Flaired.com
