Heads up: New AIM Virus

Post by Hella »

Hey guys, there is a new AIM virus out there in the form of a link that sends itself to everyone in your buddy list if it is clicked.

I am not sure what it is called, or what the link says, but it is something along the lines of a gift. Just in time for the holidays!

If you click on the link by accident, and you will know if you do because you will get quite a few IM's from people asking what the link is, go to this website: http://www.jayloden.com/aimfix.htm and download the AIM fix application. It is something I use quite often at work (I work for my university's computer help desk) and it is quite reliable and does the job.

Again, the site is: http://www.jayloden.com/aimfix.htm
The direct link to the file is: http://www.jayloden.com/AIMFix.exe


Don't know if this is the right place for this, Dave. Do with it as you wish. 8)

They stink for file sharing from what I hear.

I don't use any of those really, so I'm probably safe.

No, I need the 'send file,' 'get file' and 'auto accept' functions.

NEED.
