vitalsecurity.org — A ring of "Myspace profile edit" sites encourage Myspace users to add their "free videos" to their profiles. What they *don't* mention, is that these videos pop open a box that tries to install Zango Adware when someone visits a profile running these movies. Getting what is likely teenagers to unknowingly distribute this stuff is a new low.

Let the 14-year-olds learn a lesson? They did nothing wrong. They are the victims and myspace is letting their computers be attacked.And myspace knows about it, trust me.

It's easy not to hear about myspace, just don't live in US and avoid sites that seems like junk.

Welcome to the wonderful continent that's called Europe. None of my friends have yet heard about MySpace, let's hope it stays that way. I once heard it on the radio, being called a 'music site' :-/But I still don't get how it's more popular than Google in the U.S.A.. Teenagers keep checking and checking profile pages... or what? What an exciting life must they lead.

myspace should have this on their service not some other company. I don't know why they are not developing things like this.

"If someone is foolish enough for you to take advantage of them time and again, you have a moral obligation to continue taking advantage of them. If you don't, someone else will, and that would leave them exposed to someone even LESS scrupulous than you." -- UnknownHence, the continued use of Newbies as a virus vector.

Yet another reason MySpace sucks. They need to restrict code.Use Facebook, please. Not only is the interface more plaeasing, it has a lot of cool features.Blocking ads doesn't distort the interface like it does on MySpace.
