Use Gaim and don't worry about things like that. :)

Signed.
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

lol, true, ALTHOUGH I never said I was for sure going to go gay...I said I may go gay.  I left that option "or something" open so i don't have to go gay

This is the same type of virus which I told you about. Trend Micro doesn't know about it AFAIK, I think ClamAV is the only one who picks up on it (if they looked at your submission).

What does this virus do to your computer?  Can you not open an AV programs/online scanners/online sites/task manager?

If so, check your registry entries for something under \Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Run or \Microsoft\CurrentVersion\RunServices
I had something in Run & RunServices that was pointing to External.exe.  External.exe was a virus.  I removed the Registry entry & then deleted External.exe from my harddrive & everything worked fine.  I had to fix my hosts file too though

Gaim wouldn't protect you from it, yo have to go to the website you're sent and run the executable file (dumb!).

there are lots of AIM viruses, Quik, no guarentee it's the same one.  Also, Fortigate picks it up, even when it's zipped.  And there's a pretty good chance that Trend and Symantec and the others can pick it up now.

He told me the string which was sent to him, when we were talking on AIM, before he posted this. It's the same virus, except in .exe form. Garunteed.

Garunteed!

Ok, well, nevertheless Trend will probably find it now.

This is why you don't click strange URLS!

Strange URL's are ok if you are using a decent browser.  But don't run strange programs!
