Do it, there is no annoying javascript or such things.
There is only a error page
you would have to run programs which you download from the website.
but you should not use ie as browser, because of its safety holes

actually, a website can not put viruses on your computer by opening it
thats wrong! its possible to get a virus by just opening a website! its even possible if you do not use the IE. no browser is 100% safe. be careful und use a good anti virus software. I wouldn't open a strange website without anti virus software.

By the way, I use NOD32 and Kaspersky Lab Anti-Virus.

True, but compare
Firefox andInternet Explorer(For a complete result you should check the Page for WinXP vulnerabilities too)
6 to 10 unpatched holes. Also the most severe IE hole is rated "highly critical"
BTW: I've worked around 3 out of 6 holes in Firefox by disabling JavaScript and the password manager, yay
Okay, it doesn't hurt me because I don't need the pw manager anyways and I had disabled JS before, but most people would surely miss those features
But it would be naive to surf without protection, even if no holes would be known

just make sure you don't go to anywhere your not suppose to and u won't get in trouble
Right, #1 of the surfing rules still works the best
