Cool virus I got from AIM

David04 · #1 09-14-2005, 03:09 PM

Okay, so I have this virus on AIM that sends a message to everybody on my buddy list like "Check out this game" or "kill some time with this" or whatever. Then if somebody clicks/downloads it, the same thing happens to them. It does it over and over, all day. My friend told me it sent it to him even when I wasn't signed on.

I know there is a .bat file that was created. I found this and deleted it, but it comes back and still keeps sending the messages. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I think I heard someone say google for "aimfixer" to fix this.

I used system restore to rid myself of this virus.

I downloaded AIMfix, hopefully it will work, I don't know for sure yet...

Or trillian if you want a subpar alternative alternative which you may or may not have to pay for...

but for the love of god, don't use the bloated, disguisting AOL client.
