Someone could conceivably send you a virus which could mess things up, but very highly doubtful that is could totally ruin your system. It might screw up Windows or a program or two, but no way it could do anything physically.

They could not literally fry it, but could delete everything on it with malware, a virus, Trojan horse, or worm.

He can't fry it literally, but he could certainly make it inoperable.

YES! myspace.com could brake your drive!
Have a pop-up blocker and a fire wall!
Firewalls come with a computer!
