    i hear all this crap about myspace, and yes, there are some rather odd people on there, but no one that i have met is anymore than a harmless slightly derranged hacker... well, harmless to people, not computers or web pages...

    IMO, hackers won't hang out on myspace. They're on Sourceforge. I haven't encountered any virus there but adware, spywares, unwanted cookies are present on their ads. BTW, I hate thos "pimp" pages there that uses too much javascript and non-proper CSS that makes browsers somethimes freeze.

    Myspace was a nice place to socialize befor, like a year ago but I've been hearing negative social feedbacks and bad experiences report nowadays.

    Thanks so much for pointing out the news.

        wierdest thing happened to me tonight, inadvertantly << spelling? received email from my 14 yr old daughter in florida (when I shouldn't have)... she's cursing and saying someone hacked into her site and changed her password?  Is that possible if she didn't tell someone in the 1st place? I just shipped them a new puter with all your suggested spyware's and firewall software, they are using an older puter with no protection, is it likely that happend or do u think she probably told somone and they got her?

        concerned dad * :-[

        Both options listed are possibilities.

        She should change logon/password immediately in either case and keep those shields up!

          Thanks  *  G-Man   ,  I went ahead and copied & pasted your response to me and sent to her. I hope she aint too  PO'd at her dad but what the heck.  She is playing with fire on that thing but I am like 1400 miles away and can't monitor her actions, it's great being a non-custodial parent!  NOT* :-[
