It can't it's just a website and myspace has to be responsible because they're a big business now. Websites can set up some nasty cookies and scripts but they're easy to get rid of and don't do much.

P2P software can cause you to get a virus but the only one i've ever seen that has a virus contained in the software is KaZaa which uses a trojan variant, Run I Hate Spyware by Sunbelt and see KaZaa raise all kinds of alarms. LimeWire does not contain viruses as such in itself but getting a virus from someone ON a p2p is very possible because some people will hide viruses within the file you're downloading. You can get rid if these with McAffe or Norton just keep it up to date as most all new viruses are copies of old ones. Adware and Spyware will cause your system's speed to drop faster than Paris Hilton's thong.
