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!

Hey.. I had this virus too... i just found a link on google that talks you through fixing it... apparantly this virus disguises itself by naming itself lsass.exe, which is already a legitimate process on your computer... idk, anyway here's the link to fix it.
