Myspace, your one stop spyware shop!

I should feel bad that over a million viewers were potentially infected with crap by viewing MySpace pages... but I don't.

I checked my emotions again... yup... still don't feel anything but glee.

Am I a bad person?

The deckoutyourdeck.com advertisement exploited a flaw in the way Microsoft's Internet Explorer (IE) browser handles Windows Metafile (WMF) image files. Users running unpatched versions of IE would never have realized that the banner ad had silently installed programs that generate pop-up ads on their system.
