AIM Virus's suck. Tonight I got a call from a friend with a computer virus that made their AIM act up and put up "random" away messages. Her away message would automatically come up with a link for others to click on, (e.g. "my photos from the beach"), that would send the virus to the next persons computer. It had other symptoms too, such as re-setting internet explorer's security settings, and not allowing windows Task Manager to open when the user hit CTRL+ALT+DEL.

So what'd I do? I began searching the web; having not encountered the problem before I hoped for an easy solution.

And what do you know, I got one. A guy by the name of Jay Loden (I'm assuming, after all its http://www.jayloden.com) has apparantly had the problem multiple times and taken it upon himself to make a fix for a large variety of AIM viruses and spyware issues. His tool, what he calls AIMFIX, helped us out BIGtime. It is simple, well updated, and extremely effective. It's so effective I'm writing about it here so that other inflicted users can easily find his work. My message to Jay: Keep up the good work.. Once again, for a quick fix to the AIM virus described above, try visiting JayLoden.com, and use AIMFIX.
