ok, i was a fool and i clicked a link i got from somebody, and i downloaded the thing. i signed on aim, and i noticed that after about 3 minutes or so, i would send out links to everyone on my buddy list. at this point i tried scanning with ad-aware and i followed the instructions in the aim trojan help page....i thought it was gone, so i signed on aim again, and i get the same problem, so i sign off whenever this starts happening...then later on, i signed on aim again, and it is impossible to talk to my friends, cause now it is sending the link to everyone CONSTANTLY, from what people were telling me... the link they are getting is this... http://www.flighthangar.com/pictures.pif ....please help me, it would be very much appreciated!

Try this free online virus scan Panda it is a good start and may get rid of it.

If you have not fixed it yet....you can give this a try.

Do this once in regular mode.....

Then.....

Boot to SAFE mode and run the items again.

Then....make sure you have all Windows critical updates.
