i got this new aim virus. you get it from clicking on a buddy's away message. the message says, "OH f---, (web site)" anyone know how to get rid of it? thanks.

I have the same virus... Please help!
I clicked on a link on the away message of one of my friends, that said: "I made a new profile, click to check it out" and it had an angelfire address, and now I set my away message and when I come back it says "Oh F***" and has that address. I asked this friend of mine and she said that the way her friend got rid of it was to wipe their ENTIRE hard drive... I can't do that. Does anyone know how to get rid of it?oh and plus when I press ctrl+alt+del the task manager comes up, but only stays up one second before closing. same with running msconfig...
if anyone can help I would appreciate it very much!!!!!

I have the same issues with the away message, the flickering ctr-alt-del task manager menu, and I am now unable to log into Windows while in Safe mode to run a virus scan. It rejects my password but doesn't on normal Windows log in page. Please help!

I also have this problem, and cannot figure out how to fix it. My REGEDIT and MSCONFIG both open for a split second and then close. When I go to safe mode they open normal, but I do not know what to look for. When I start up my AOL instant messenger is immediately brought up and says that a password must be entered to follow the AIM hyperlink. If I open AIM it automatically puts up an away message with: "OMFG http://www.angelfire.com/ar3/sunz/wedding.scr !" I cannot figure out what to do...please send your advise...I have windows XP home edition.

i am having the same problem. i have tried everything and cannot find anything. i have run spybot, adaware, and viruscan and come up with nothing. please help!!!

Like the rest of you the same thing just happened to me today june 23, just today some away message automatically popped up and had this OMFG link and some angelfire site come up. I pressed cntrl alt del too and the window stays up for a second then goes away. I havent clicked on any links on my friends profiles or anything i dont know whats going on. I am wondering if this is some new virus that just got unleashed and no one knows what to do. IF anyone figures out whats wrong please let us all know!!!

I found this down the page a little ways.
