A number of my friends have contacted me lately seeking my assistance with their MySpace accounts because they asserted that their accounts were hacked and that unknown persons were accessing their account and sending messages and posting bulletins with weird MySpaceTV videos.

I assured them that their accounts were not in the technical sense "hacked" but were instead compromised due to any ActiveX script that people are placing in their profiles which allows people to compromise MySpace accounts view the ActiveX functionality.

This vulnerability that is affecting so many MySpace users is only capable of affecting users of the Internet Explorer web browser product line developed by Microsoft Corporation.

I have been using the Firefox browser developed by Mozilla for sometime now and not only does it run and work smoother it is much more secure.

I highly recommend everyone click here and start using Firefox today and I also suggest that everyone use a solid and well reviewed Anti-Virus software and some sort of Anti-Adaware/Spyware software. If more people followed that simple advice right there they would have less viruses and less Internet security trouble.
