ParticipantIf you have a virus, download http://jayloden.com/AIMFix.exe, reboot into safe mode, and run it twice. AIM will exit in order for this to work.
IF the virus is not removed, run http://jayloden.com/HijackThis.exe and send the log it produces to Jay Loden at http://jayloden.com/contact.htm Using the information you sent, he should be able to produce a new version of AIMFix shortly which will remove it.
Also, please send a message with the link you downloaded the virus from to me at aimvirus@mit.edu so I can send the owners of the site a takedown request so the virus cannot continue to spread.

It isn’t an AIM thing like that it is a 3rd party thing.

MemberThis is turning into total hell. Literally every 15 minutes someone IM’s me with the “Check out my pictures” link. If something doesn’t happen, AOL is going to have to step in. Did any of you guys figure out if that AIMfix by Jay Lodan works? If it does, I’m going to start passing it around.
