That website is probably a spam or hack website that is supposed to do something like fork bomb your computer.

Why were you trying to connect to the website?

I also advise using NoScript for you internet browser, as it [mostly] prevents websites from doing this sort of thing.

thanx for the advice about using NoScript in my browser. About visiting the site i search t for a video it was a google result.
But still the problem of the changed appearance is not solved i have a clone of the old version without the updates i wil try to visit the site without the updates and then 1 update at a time for me its unbearable to not know what has caused this strange behaviour and maybe it is a problem in one of the updates. I wil know what caused it because when by visiting sites that can change little things they can change big things i'm trying to prevent that from happening.
If someone have advise about the matter please reply i will report about the progress.
