detected viruses trying to sneak into my computer, mozilla

is way better.

Yes it is possible but most of the time you have to install something in your computer that has the virus. I installed something on myspace one time and got the Trojan virus. 6 hours and $180 later, I was able to get rid of it.
Yes. IT is entirely true. Here's what you can do to prevent it from happening.

1. Get an anti-virus program. I recommend AVG for basic protection. http://www.grisoft.com

2. Get McAfee SiteAdvisor. http://www.siteadvisor, this plugin really helps you know that the website that you are about to go on is safe.
Yes. Just by visiting a site, it is possible to contact a virus. So just make sure your protected by having an updated anti-virus. If you don't have one, you can get AVG Free (which is of course free).
yes you can since they download things to your computer in the background and you won't even know it
