I clicked on a link in a friends profile and now this stupid site http://WWW.REALPHX.COM keeps coming up in my profile and won’t delete. Anyone know how to get rid of this stupid thing?
Here is the information you need to remove it;
yeah, i saw that and showed my friend, but she dosent know how to do all that stuff. Is there anything out there that my friend can dl and it will remove the virus?
I also clicked on the link in one of my friend’s profiles, now it is set to my homepage when i go on internet explorer i tried following the instructions, and when i found the ‘av’ program, it told me i could not delete it, is there any other way to get rid of this? please respond anyone that has the answer.

Nick72918, I deleted the link you gave, because you linked directly to the EXE. We need to have confidence that the file is from a reliable source. Provide a link to the site and the evidence that this file can be trusted, not directly to the EXE, ok?
Besides, Tracer already provided a link to a reputable source with step-by-step instructions for removing the virus (a few replies back).
There is also a alleged fix on http://www.realphx.com. Originally you had to pay to get it, but now they have released a program to remove the av.exe file that is the adware. If you don’t feel comfortable using the program that they supply to remove it and it’s other components, which is found Here, you can go Here and follow the supplied instructions to remove it. I’d suggest immediately changing any AIM passwords that have been saved during your period of infection because the Realphx.com adware, or trojan.sinkin, sends the information that is stored in your registry about AIM to a remote host of it’s own.
