it could be a virus you never know. if your computer starts acting weird you'll know its virus. if it is there is a cleanser thing for AIM you can get for free from AIM. but until then, just dont click anything thing else weird.

♥ hope i helped X0X0

It is possible, but chances are you're ok. There's a lot of stupid people on the internet, so they probably just wanted to scare you. Run a virus check though, tell your parents, and try to only connect with people you know and trust from now on.

It's possible. Run a virus scan and then SHUT OFF your computer. If someone in your house is good with computers, alert them.

It is possible now to send a virus through an image, but it's very rare. I doubt someone send you a virus. Try running a virus scan to make sure.
