There have been COUNTLESS AIM trojans. Google it for a fix, there's actually another topic on these forums where Towelie mentioned this. Not a worm, by the way.

It's technically a worm in the same way that mydoom and such are worms. There is a pretty blurred line between worms and other malware these days.
It would be nice if you left the correct ip, just put a space somewhere so the link doesn't work (and it takes effort to get infected).. that way I could download it, scan it, and figure out what it is.
A trojan is something with a malicious payload piggybacked on an innocent looking program (kinda like Spyware).

That's usually how it goes, hence my classification as "trojan".
Also, I thought viruses were self-replicating, more oft than worms? I know the definition is getting fuzzy, but there should be some give-aways, shouldn't there?
That being the case, this would be more of a virus and not worm. However, some of these malicious AIM-related activities can be more defined as 'trojans'. I'd concider a worm to be something which spreads just by a computer user with a vulnerable version of the program, so that they can get infected without downloading and/or running outside files.
