Comment: I clicked on a link in my friend's away message that said "LOOK!!" then a link to an angelfire site. Now I can put up my own away message but after a few minutes it changes to that. Or I won't even have one up and then I have the LOOK away message up all of a sudden. Also when that happens I get a popup ad that says to download something. If I say no, another thing says I have to click Yes to view the content of the site. I hit OK and it takes me back to the downloading I don't want. I do this a few times and I can close the window. When the window is open, I cannot right click on the toolbar at the bottom of my screen to close Internet Exporer. Also, ctrl+alt+del can't do anything because the Task Manager window closes in a few seconds. The jayloden AIMFix hasn't been updated for this. PLEASE update it!! Melissa
