There is a new AIM virus going around that sends an IM to everyone on your buddy list. If anyone knows how to get rid of it, please let me know!
This is what it says: This AIM user has sent you a Greetings Card, to open it visit: http://greetings.aol.com/index.pd?source=christmastheme?my_christmas_card.COM This senders personal note: Merry Christmas!
