Briefly explain your current issue(s)
Danasoft.com can see my IP
Steps taken to resolve, but have been unsuccessful
None.
I found Danasoft.com in one of the members posts.

And it Knows everything about my PC. How is this possible ?

It scares me that it knowns my IP and everything!

1)To launch Notepad as administrator, press the Windows key, type Notepad, right-click the Notepad application that appears, and select Run as administrator.
2)Click File –> Open in the Notepad window and navigate to the following file:
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts
3)Add a line for each website you want to block. Type the number 127.0.0.1, followed by a space or tab, and then type the name of a website.

copy/paste
Code:
127.0.0.1 danasoft.com

a malware tips member has the danasoft widget as his / her signature & that is what you saw like here :

danasoft.jpg


you will see it every time you will read that member's post as it is in her / his signature.

i do not think the hosts file procedure will prevent you from seeing it.

malware1 / petrovic please correct me if i am wrong.

the widget shows mozilla / netscape as my browser but in the image you can see i am using internet explorer.

relax there is nothing to be so petrified about.
