I have this thing in my AIM Info that says "Whoaaa...look at what I found, click here". I got it from clicking the same link in someone else's info. And now this link stays in my info, if I erase it and put in something else, it just deletes what I put in and goes over it. I even reinstalled AIM, I don't know what to do!

Hi Erica, Try this Realphx removal tool: http://www.wnygames.com/files/phxfix.exe

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.aplore@mm.html that might be it, run an online scan at: http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ and/or http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/ when you get the exact virus name do a search for it at trendmicro.com or http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/vinfodb.html and follow the removal info there.

Try uninstaling AIM then deleting the folder it was installed in completley and reinstalling AIM. That should get rid of it. If not get back. There are other things that can be done. You might like to have a look at IMSecure from Zone Labs. It from the same manufactures as Zone Alarm but is designed to protect IM users. http://www.zonelabs.com Stuart

i had to go to system restore on my computer, which can be found by doing a simple search on your computer....and then i restored it to before i got the virus, and then restarted my computer twice. there are a lot of other people who are having the same problem...i have been searching my computer all morning and this is the only thing i have foudn to work.

i had the realphx virus and was able to successfully remove it. then, some of my friends got the talkstocks.net virus (with the link "wooaahh look what i found! click here!")... and i was able to successfully remove it.. unfortunately, now, many of my friends have a new one, that inserts a link that says "I can't believe I found (your screenname here)'s Picture here HAHAHAHA" and links back to buddypicture.net.. ive been completely unable to find any removal tool for this one... can anyone help me?? please email me at miisanthropyx@hotmail.com...

I've got the "I can't believe I found (your screenname here)'s Picture here HAHAHAHA" bug too. I'd also appreciate any solutions for removing it; I've been looking but can't find any way to get rid of it other than temporarily removing it from my profile by deleting it each time I log in.
