Freezing the computer is the art of bad programming - probably memory leaks which are causing a complete drainage of resources and Windows freaks out. My computer has paused several moments viewing certain band profile pages. In my opinion, people go out of their way to spice up their profile not seeing how loading tons of oversized pictures intermixed with the bad programming of Myspace can cause a lot of problems. I purposely leave my pages as simple as possible to avoid this.
As for the infections - they aren't right and someone needs to look into a lawsuit about it. I'm clueless as to how any company could think they would be well off by installing unrequested adverts in public computers, and while they call it marketing, I call it trespassing. Yet, I don't worry about these things much being a Unix user; however, my parents are Windows users and every time this causes a problem, I want to bill my time out to some company. Hmmm, that sounds interesting. ... tap tap tap ... there, I visited one of the sites and sent an email about billing them for my time cleaning their banner ads. Let's see what happens.
