Just fair warning to everyone, I just got a friend request and the profile picture was kind of small so I clicked to go to the profile to see if it was someone I know. I got an error page, no surprise, with a link to “continue to profile” which took me to a more in-depth error page telling me my account had been hacked and I needed to ‘disinfect’ my computer and profile in 24 hours and there was a link to a file to do all this, stating that regular antivirus stuff wouldn’t cut it. Well, at this point I finally realized something was fishy so I didn’t click on it, thank goodness. I copy/pasted the page to a report for Myspace. I’m hoping the none of the original stuff I clicked on did any harm, but if you guys see my profile doing funny stuff, let me know, please.
Hopefully Myspace will let me know what’s going on with that and maybe release a message for other people so they know not to click on anything. That place is getting so ridiculous with this stuff!

I agree. It’s almost not worth it anymore.
