I've been preaching about this for some time now - one of the worst things about sites such as MySpace is when users are prompted to download and install something to watch a video. It happens far too often-and not always through MySpace.

Today I had a friend and customer bring a laptop with this exact symptom. Whether you use MySpace or not, you need to be careful about clicking. Remember that your anti-virus does not stop 99% of these types of malware.
