            Nothing better than a browser hijack to wake you in the morning. Someone tried to "view my homepage" for a female who sent him a similar message. Ever since, I've been running over hell and creation getting his system in order. Thank god we had a fresh pot of coffee.

              MySpace is full of bots. Its the most virus infested web site on Earth... other than microsoft.com of course. Thats why I dont go anywhere near it.

              MySpace uses a lot of AJAX, and its easy to hack it using XSS. Well, not trivial, but possible. So dont be surprised is those messages were actually sent by a bot...

                I have his machine back in working order. At least he can get online again and he past the system lockups. Our sonicwall (firewall) with McAfee Managed Scan didn't pickup any virus' however spyware found trojans, dialers, etc and spybot the same. Everything pulled out of add/remove progs that shouldn't be there, yet he's still getting popups (like this grey dialog box with advetisements that pops up near the sys tray and then hides itself again). Suggestions?

                  I don't get those... are you sure it's myspace and not some spyware running in the background?

                      I'm quite sure. The popup is called IQ Test. There should be a removal tool somewhere online but I can't find it. The biggest issue was created by COMMAND or COMMANDER which was installed on the machine.

                          Sorry Adam, I should have mentioned- this was an infected pc I've been working on. Some douche in my company (my boss ) clicked on something he wasn't supposed to in his myspace inbox. I've been de-funking his computer since.

                            Found it!

                            Web-nexus.com installed some adaware on IE. Making IE crash when you try to open.

                            Luckily there is Firefox!

                              does IE still crash when you try opening it? is it an immediate crash, or after you browse a few pages?

                                Its an immediate crash. Sounds like the works of a worm, but he came up clean through firewall managed antivirus. If this was my machine, I would have ffr by now.
