Is Myspace infested with viruses/malware/spyware/trojans?

I sometimes visit Myspace and whenever I even view a page it seems my computer slows down or has other minor problems, and no antivirus/spyware programs pick anything up. I have an account but I don't even need to log in. I know I can just not visit but I'm looking to start a local group and this seems like the only way to do so in this particular case. Is there a way to prevent this other than having the best protection software? Has anyone else experienced this? I have a hardware firewall, Norton suite, and Adaware and Spybot S&D and am going to upgrade to better protection. Thanks!

Hi. Let me get this straight, you have no issues viewing other sites, but Myspace gives issues? Just Myspace in general, or some profiles? Chances are, you are downloading a lot of pictures and such, and it's slowing things down. What kind of internet connection are you using?
