This filter blocks pornography, violence, spyware and virus sites, most phishing sites and social networking sites like Myspace.

Yes you can unblock myspace by adding it to its allowed list.

Netcraft's toolbar is also worth considering. I think it will not block Myspace.

Answer 2

Phishing Filters would NOT block MySpace.

Basically, I send you a link of www.x.com

You click on the link and it takes you to something completely other than x.com.

If you mouse over the link, it should be the same as the intended destination!!!
