CrashIE.com Is a Scam
Uses illegitimate methods to promote other web browsers.
Crash IE is a tricky little web site which is designed to crash Internet Explorer. Turns out, it’s a scam.
If you visit the mentioned page with the latest version of IE9, there is a big chance that your web browser will crash. Visit it with Google Chrome, Opera or Firefox and everything works like a charm.
So what’s the big deal? Here is a thing: change the user agent to IE and every other web browser will crash too! Now isn’t that nice?

It’s not funny! It’s harmful! Ouch!
It’s even hate me, when i mask my opera as IE6. May i hate myself too. Kyun!
I just visited that site and saw it recommended using Opera. I opened it in Opera and Opera blocked it for being malicious.
Also note that it doesn’t crash IE if you change IE’s user agent.
