I don't know if anyone has head of this, but there is an online game called isketch. It's like online pictionary. It use's the program Macromedia Shockwave to operate.
Everytime before I enter the site it says "Click to run ActiveX control on this site". Once I have logged onto the website a message pops up and says something like "an attempt has been made to access this location. This may pose a security risk", and it gives some link to random websites each time, like a photobucket account or something. Once I go into one of the rooms, after about 2 minutes (not even that), the game and website will freeze. NOT my entire internet, just that website. So I have to refresh and log in again. And it will happen again, and again. After about 8 times of logging in and in again and again, it will finally stay on. But I asked other people on the game and it doesn't happen to any of them.
Am I hacked? Or what is it that may be causing this weird stuff to happen when I go to that site?

My computer does NOT have a virus. I did a scan and there was no virus detected. I don't know how many times I have said this, but it's the WEBSITE not my computer or internet. But it only seems to happen to me when I go onto the site. Everything else on my computer works perfect.

I honestly don't believe your being hacked though this site if other users report that it works correctly, however I believe the problem might be due to your macromedia player, go do the site below and download the newest version of the player, if you have the same version installed, uninstall it then reinstall the same newest version).

Since you checked that there is no virus, you should also scan for spyware as well. But, i don't think you find anything. I think the problem is that you need to add the website to the trusted site list in IE. IE sorts website in to several zones, including: Internet, Intranet, Trusted Sites and Restricted Sites. ActiveX and javascript controls are blocked on websites that are not listed on the Trusted sites' list. In your case, the website you want to use requires ActiveX and javascript, which is why it is constantly prompting you to allow the site to run ActiveX and javascript. On the menu bar, go to Tools > Internet Options > Security > Trusted Sites > [Sites] > [Add} > enter the website > [O.K.] > [Apply].

Windows OS all updated.? Virus and malware all Updated?Computer has been shut off and restarted since this? if yes to all, its a glitch in the AciveX, there is a run /command that will tell you about all activeX scripts on your PC, /diag or something. That info can be found at microsoft KB, is kinda system dependant. So make sure you are in the right page.
You mat also want to limit the AutoRunActiveX in your browser settings and make a rule for them.

ActiveX controls are used on interactive websites but they are inclined to have a lot of glitches and can hang up. This probably the reason that particular site locks up on you.
People generally don't hack individual computers. If you don't have a virus you are fine.

Yes, you have been hacked with one of the more destructive hijacking programs. Download Comodo Antivirus and have it run thru your system. Then download and run AVG Antivirus. Then run XoftSpy, Adaware and CounterSpy.
When those are all done, download and install Firefox and use that as your web browser, or download and use Opera as your web browser - stop using Internet Explorer immediately!
You will have zero issues after doing this.

S. military business enterprise stuff to no longer screw it up yet just to show he can, usually hacking is breaking into yet another persons laptop without being one hundred's or maybe hundreds miles far off from it and programming viruses or something like dat.
