Gotcha, I think Phil has it too. He "sent" me the file.
It has Comcast in the name of the link.

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 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  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.
