This is quite a nice virus. Uses user agents to display different styles. I can see why any internet noob would click that.

@Einstanzinho, if you hit a hijcked site like the one in the clip and then follow the instructions they give you. Then yes, you'll be infected.

will these sites harm my computer or not

Simply by clicking a url you can be redirected to a malicious site. The hackers use malicious crimeware toolkits to poision and hijack clean websites to malicious ones. Then when you click a innocent looking picture like you did or a link, you get infected.
