Hello. This is what I have done. I followed a link that I have received within some massages over AIM. I went the page, and after you visit something like Buddy Links, you can install some things that they offer and say it serves a purpose, and get something you do not want. Not only you do not want, but this AIM Trojan Hijack your Buddy list and, I think do the same to people on your list, give advertisements and who knows what. Maybe you get something worse with this. So, this everyone is to be very careful about this. Right know, I am not sure how to stop this thing from working?

I did not download anything out of this site but have seen it; www. buddylinks.net and they say the things you download are not a virus. One must be very careful what one click on internet. I don’t love to download anything I am not sure about. You get things from a few places you are absolutely sure are ok, and do not change this if works. And about uninstalling of the stuff, are you running any antivirus, AdAware, Spybot or anything? Try cleaning. Maybe some on-line scan, although I am very careful, even about these.
