Well, first step is running a virus scan. If it finds the virus, hopefully you can delete it, if you can, try running AIM, and hopefully the virus will be gone. If that doesn't work, try completely uninstalling and deleting the AIM program from your hard drive. Run another virus scan, then redownload and install. Run another scan and then try AIM to see if the virus is gone. If it's still there, you only have one choice that I know of to get rid of this virus.
If it's worth it to you, you'll have to format your hard drive. What this means, is you will be completely clearing all of your memory and pretty much starting back with a blank, clean system. If you know how to do this, then I'm sure you already know this and know all about what it does; if you don't know how to do this, you'll have to ask somebody, preferably somebody who has done it before many times and knows very well what they're doing.
