Anyone else have a virus on aim?
The other night, I got an im from someone say, "Do you mind if I post this picture of you on my blog?" with a link. So I was like, what is this? And I clicked on the link and it didn't open anything up. So I didn't think much of it. Now, I was just sitting here, got up, came back and MY screen name sent that same message to everyone on my buddy list

Re: Anyone else have a virus on aim?
That happened to me during an IM with a friend of mine!! I totally thought it was a pic of us, I clicked it and it was horrible!!!!
I had to take it to Circuit city and have it professionally removed, and had Norton and Spybot installed. 
Needlless to say, 5 weeks later my computer is back at Circuit City b.c of another virus, not as bad though. Sometimes this computer stuff drives me nuts.

Re: Anyone else have a virus on aim?
Check online for fixes... a lot of times there will be directions on what to do...
Though, when DH got a virus last year he had to back everything up, delete everything, and then re-add it. It sucked... I hope you don't have to do that!

Re: Anyone else have a virus on aim?
Happens to me when I have my away message up and one of my friends is online.
I clicked it once, but, didnt go any further and I don't think anything happened (Thank God).
Its only with her screen name though.
So wierd.

I received an IM from someone I know with a link. I clicked on the link, but then had a virus pop up message.
It hits your entire buddy list.
