MySpace itself doesn't, but you can probably get them from a message or a bulletin. Just don't open the ones from people you don't know and you should be good.

No, MySpace doesn't have viruses. The bulletins that people post but it isn't them (ads, etc.) are because the person gave away their login info (email/password) through a fake login form. ALWAYS check fro login.myspace.com in the top bar; they're not lying about that.
Adding a certain friend or reposting a bulletin will not make you post those fake bulletins.
And no, you cannot get a virus from MySpace unless you download something off of there.

The myspace staff does not put any on there. However, since it's the most commonly visited website (discounting yahoo! itself); its a popular place for people to place spyware on. P.S-Spyware is a lot more common than viruses, so get both a spyware scanner and a virus scanner.

You can get infected by downloading files listed on people's myspace pages.

yes- you should always change your password.
go to hotmail.com and click "change password" to see it's strength.
if you dont have hotmail, click "set up account" and then go through steps till it asks for a password.
tell your friends.
