CAUTION: POSSED AIM
ok, so if my screen name has randomly IMed you with some sort of link, DON"T CLICK IT. it's bad. Thanks to Alyson (j/p) sending me a random link and clicking it. So now I have some sort of thing on my messenger and has been randomly IMing people the same link. Only the link doesn't work. So, that's a good thing.
If anyone has had this problem and knows how to get rid of it, let me know. I've tried using clean-up wizards and virus detectors but apparently it's still there. I was able to get rid of the thing *icon at least*..some sort of pictures@gallery exe. thing. i dunno. I upgraded my AIM also. So I'm gonna go restart the computer and hopefully there will be no more random IMs from my screen name.
If infact you were able to click the random link, go here to get rid of it...(this is what Alyson told me to do)
Click this if you clicked on the link that was sent to you
