AIM virus?
So lately I've been getting IMs from a LOT of people (including people I barely/never talk to), all saying things like "check out my new pics! [link] " or "this reminds me of you [link]" etc. basically all have a random statement and a link to some obscure location, etc.
i haven't clicked on anything. but i'm pretty sure it's a virus because these messages KEEP coming (like every once in a while) from the same people and they're the SAME messages from every person.
how exactly does this 'virus' or wahtever it is work? and does it do anything else other than force you to spam your entire buddy list?

Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
This has been happening to me,
Disregard what the person below me said.
I could even understand it.
Your friends AIM SNs have been getting hacked, and the hacker is sending out messages containing spam links so if you click on them, they can hack your AIM/Computer as well.
I'd inforam everyone who's been sending you threse things so change their passwords.

I don't think it does anything elese iv'e had things happen like that while on Msn if it's annoying then contact Aim and report it depending on what version of Aim you've got you'll have to find the contact link they'll probably be able to fix it so it doesn't happen again i just usually close out the conversation don't click on the link seeing as it's probably a virus run your virus protection program whatever you use to scan for viruses maybe that will get rid of it but if it doesn't then your best option is to just contact Aim(:
