AIM virus?
Hey guys. Whenever i talk to a few of my friends on AIM, i usually get a message from them saying "Screen name: Yo!! Im gettin this camara! piC" In that word piC, it's a link i think and it doesn't even load - it's a ip address or something. Could this thing be a virus? Thanks.

it sounds like it could be some sort of virus/trojan/spyware.

download adaware and spybot.

it wouldnt hurt to let your antivirus have a run through. and if all else fails, you could always uninstall reinstall aim.

They've already scannned their computer with adaware and spybot and it didn't catch anything at all. I guess i'll tell them to get a antiviurs software or something since they don't even have any. Thanks .
