html Parlor tricks?
I don't think so. The only way information about your PC or a directory of your C drive could be obtained by going to a web page would be to download an Active X control with IE. The Active X control runs on your computer like any other program and can do this stuff. With Mozilla or Netscape, this site can only guess what OS you are running and can't see your C drive. The only way to figure out your ISP would be to track down who owns your IP address.

As far as Evidence Eliminator or any other antispyware goes, people need these because they don't know what is talking out to the network from their machines. A good software firewall like free Zone Alarm makes programs ask for permission before using the network.

Be careful what you download and know what programs on your machine use the network.
