Be careful using this site. The sites it links off to for videos contain various buttons, banners and top frames which repeatedly try to get you to download a "required plugin". I did a little digging and discovered the plugin always comes from install.secure-softwaremanager.com, which (thanks to Google) I found in a number of recent security reports.

If you think you may have installed anything from these sites my best advice would be to make sure your internet security software is up to date, then run a full system scan. You might also want to download and run the free edition of MalwareBytes.

Uh Oh.
Ran a scan and found 5 nasties on my laptop.
Perhaps this thread should read "where NOT to watch Wonder Woman"....

Well that doesn't prove this site caused them.
What made me suspicious is that the video hosting sites linked to by this page use various tactics to get you to download something described as a DivX plugin, including a fake browser message at the head of the screen, a fake plugin 'lego brick' where the video should be, and download/watch buttons that all redirect to the same place. Added to this is the fact the URL itself doesn't look like an official DivX download location, and its server has been linked to the hosting of trojans and other nasties.
It's quite possible it installs a legitimate DivX plugin, but it may also install other stuff too -- obviously I didn't attempt to download the plugin myself.
This may be a legitimate site, but given the circumstances I think "proceed with extreme caution" might be the good advice.
