blog.washingtonpost.com — "An online banner advertisement that ran on MySpace.com and other sites over the past week used a Windows security flaw to infect more than a million users with spyware when people merely browsed the sites with unpatched versions of Windows, according to data collected by iDefense, a Verisign company."

If you know anything about IT security, you should know that if Steve Gibson complains about it, it's probably being overhyped. <a class="user" href="http://grcsucks.com/">http://grcsucks.com/</a>

[continued, time ran out for updating]I mean, have a look at anyone with 200 friends or more, and then look at the comments on the page. It's the same freakin like, 5 people commenting on their page. So really, they have:-5 friends-lots of pictures of random people

"Yes, but Myspace is still a cesspool of stupid people built on s**tty technology."@mc900ftjesus:That is a quote for the ages!

Heh...heh...heh... Myspace is such a stupid retarded waste. Not only is it for people who don't have social lives, but it's totally trounced by less technological folk who don't know how to refuse a download, don't know how to go to windows update, don't know how to run virus scan, don't know how to use anti-spyware and malware tools/ adblock tools, and don't know what TagWorld is. Tagworld is EXACTLY like Myspace, but better : ) ! and not filled with security holes and tracking cookies.

If you want to live in peace and harmony with your computer and the internet, go to these websites and download these alternatives.
