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.

If it infected the AOL executable so that every time you ran AOL it sent itself out, that's a virus. 

If it was a program that you ran, and it looked like a game, but it was really spreading secretly, then it's a trojan. 

The way it sits, it's a worm.  The same way Netsky and Mydoom and Bagel are worms.

It in some way infects the actual AIM file because now when my friend logs on AIM it pops up with an IO error, but still works.
