OTW- you mentioned something about tracker codes or whatnot in your profile... are those codes other people put in there to make your account do weird things like send out messages to random people?

Even though Myspace.com is your homepage, there are other ways you can get the fake logins. Say, for example, you visit someone's profile, and somewhere in that profile is a code that redirects you to a fake login page when you click on a link (Home, Browse, Search, Mail...for example). The only way to make sure is to doublecheck the URL.
And don't use IE anymore.
Tracker codes were created to track visitors, but once MySpace users went batshit crazy doing anything, clicking anything that might give them one that worked...a lot of phishers made new codes and falsely advertised them as trackers. Not sure what these codes really do, but you really shouldn't have em in there to begin with.
