Yes. Some sites do what's called "Painting." They "pain" a virus over a pic on their website. Just by opening the site you can get the virus on your pc.

If you are using a browser without any security features, yes.
Being a computer novice dosen't help either, many websites contain bogus links, if you are a new to the internet you might get fooled.

Sure thing, when you go to websites they can easily place a virus in your computer.

Yeppers.
Some people think its fun to include malicious code into their pages. Keep your machine up to date, make sure your virus scanner is running all the time and you'll be fine.

yes, it depends on your browser and what you have it do, I use internet explorer because it gives access to certain security settings that other browsers don't, but if you change certain settings to make it more secure, you may find many web pages don't work as intended, and really it is quite annoying, anyways the answer to your question is yes, and it is very sad :(
