Comment: Hi im having a problem with my AIM A friend of mine had a away mesage up and i clicked the like it was like "OMFG look . . . " and had a webite that was like picturez.blogsite.org mybestfriend or somthing like that and now when ever i am on AIM it comes up like every 2 minutes and sets itself as my away message and when i already have an away message up it chages it back to that one. Also when im not signed on it keeps trying to start up AIM. I have tried a couple ways to get rid of it and have had it about a week now becuase there have been some hurricanes so i havent had the chace to get rid of it yet. But please if anyone knows how to get rid of this please email me as soon as you can thank you!

Reply: (edit)Those viruses are nasty, and arent easily disabled without damaging the program itself. Just do a FULL VIRUS SCAN with some kind of ANTIVIRUS, though i am not sure if it'd catch it, but try adaware. Try THE CLEANER (30day free trial) or AVG - Free antivirus. Also, if that doesnt work. Try the program "HIJACK THIS" and post it on a anti-virus forum or here. Thats bout all I can tell you.

Reply: (edit)install Spybot S&D Make sure to up-date it before using it. 1-Check for problems 2-Fix Problems 3-Immunize If you need a simple solution, try mine. I try to give advise on things that have happened to my PC. Changes in registry can be FATAL! Glad to have a chance to help you.
