Is MySpace safe for teenagers?
My 14-year-old daughter wants a MySpace page. I've heard stories on the news about predators using MySpace to contact kids. But all her friends are on it and she says I'm being paranoid. Is it actually dangerous or is the media overblowing it? Are there safety settings I can enable? Should I just let her have one?

My advice: don't overthink it. Pick the option that works best for your situation right now. Technology changes every 2-3 years anyway so nothing you choose today is permanent. The best technology is the one you actually use.
Be REALLY careful what you download to fix this. Half the 'free fix-it' programs you find are spyware in disguise. Stick to known-good stuff like the tools from major sites, and always scan downloads with your antivirus before running them.
