i got that virus over the summer... after two months we had to have someone come and completely gut everything out my computer and only add on the nessasary things.. i dont think uninstalling and reinstalling aim would help at all..
because the virus will still be on your computer. make sure that you either (1)dont have anything important on your computer or (2)everytime you start your computer you have to put in your username and password. that way the people that gave you the virus can't get to any important information. ]
well it sends a link to everyone on your buddy list and if that person opens the link, they will receive the virus too..try the uninstall and the reinstall AIM and if it doesn't work go to google.com and search for aim virus remover or something like that and u should find something that you can download to remove the virus, hope i helped..

i think it can send the cirus to all your friend to if they answer to your IM's .. but yes you would probably have to uninstall and reinstall AIM .. good luck! ]
no just get virus blocker it reallly works ]
You need a certain AIM virus detector. I have a link you can nuke it with: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Go there, and just click "DOWNLOAD". It's 100% FREE. It downloads in SECONDS, AND it does NOT download ANY other crap with it, ya know??
Once it's downloaded, save it to your Desktop (just so it's easy to find), and run the program. It will kick you off AIM (for about 10-14 seconds), while it scans AIM for this virus.
Once deleted, you can sign right back on. It's SPECIFICALLY an **AIM** virus detector; meant to detect EVERY one!! I've used it before, and it always fixed my problem.
Also, it wouldn't be a bad idea to pass that along to your friends, just incase they clicked it, too. :] ]
my sister had the same virus i think...you do not have to uninstall aim though...shut your computer down for an entire day and i think that should do the trick! Hope I Helped!!! =)

i've had it a few times and the only thing it has done to my computer is send that link to all the poeple on my buddly list. but i have a bunch of virus protection stuff. so maybe it blocks it. its not true about uninstalling AIM. it just takes like 2 or 3 days to go away. it sucks but you just have to learn not to clikc on those links i guess lol
i hope i helped

oo are you talkin about the one where it send's an instant message to everyone on your buddy list sayin like look at this pic or w.e i got that and it messed up my hole computer and i had to put the recovery disk in and reboot the whole thing but im sure that uninstalling aim and reinstalling will work too so you could try it.. ]
Yes it's true. I got that and all I had to do was exit the program, uninstall it, then re-install it. I hate that virus! But yup, thats all you have to do. =) it worked so it should work for you too... ]
