Beware “Free MySpace Browser” And Adult Content Viewer!
Okay, so lots of guys out there use Myspace to meet women. In fact, my cousin met his current girlfriend through Myspace, and I know more than a few PUAs who use Myspace to hook up with numerous girls. It’s a great website.
But it has it’s drawbacks.
Lately I’ve been getting a flood of friend requests from super-hot girls. But when I would go to check out their profiles, a blue screen would pop up with a friendly picture of Tom on there, asking me to download the “Free Myspace Browser” so I could view some good old fashioned adult content.
I thought this thing was legit, mostly due to the picture of Tom on it, until my spider-sense started tingling. So I went to Google and did a search on this free browser I needed to download, and sure enough - it was EVIL!
Apparently, had I downloaded and installed this free browser, my computer would have instantly been inundated with adware. Grrrrr!
So I did a bit more checking, and found out that Myspace has been targeted by hackers and spammers as a way to get to people, and that since most of this stuff comes through your “friends” profiles, people aren’t as warey as they usually are.

If you use Myspace, beware.
