Myspace has a virus...?

Question

There were 10 of us at work that got on myspace and facebook in the past 2 days and there was a virus. Anyone know about this virus and how to get it off? We are not allowed on these pages anymore because of it, just wondering how they would get a virus?

Answer 1

i dont think so  

Answer 2

Myspace has viruses, yes..

What virus makers can do is write a virus in the script of the page, so technically you dont have to download anything.

That's why schools/public places often ban those sites, because it happens so frequently.

This is where security is important; a good firewall and antivirus.
