aim bug
 

someone sent me something on aim that makes your messenger go nuts...so dont accept any thing odd from me as far as links & stuff.

Thanks
Bill

Gotcha, I think Phil has it too. He "sent" me the file.

It has Comcast in the name of the link.

i think i gave it to phil :( i just uninstalled aim & reinstalled it...not sure where to go from there...hopefully it wont affect anyone else. Sorry.

usually theres a fix out for those things, you download it and run it and it deletes/replaces whatever files it messes with. try googling whatever the link is, or part of it

i got one from phil too but i just deleted it

I had the same thing happen to me last week so I downloaded an AIM Fix.
This is the sight i used it worked for me...

i got it from phil but so far no crazy AIM. I tried jayloden, it ddin't say it found anything, and all my other virus protection software didnt pick anything up either.

I got the link from phil and downloaded it just to scan it since it didn't look like the usual AIM virus. came up clear, but I deleted it anyway.

Try copying the file name that it sends and do a :google: search.

I can't even find the file. I know I downloaded it, but I can't find it anywhere and I don't know the file name.

This is the one that I got from him if you wanna try it: video0214.com

I got it too... its gone now tho

yea theyve been goin around for awhile, usually through a "picture" i clicked on one from my cousin (it was a new one i havent seen) that said "should i post these pictures of us on facebook or myspace?" and clicked on it and it opened a .pif file that executed a .com file i think. luckly linux doesnt open .com files :D

Every link you send me seems odd.....so should I not accept anything?.....haha.....j/k, Bill
