Title: help! AIM virus. weird away message !!
Post by: ashley lemorea on September 04, 2004, 04:34:43 PM

please help me?!!? I have this AIM virus and what it does is that it pops up a away message saying that

OMFG LOOK http://pics99.blogsite.org/friends.scr !!!!!

or something similiar like that. The away message pops up like every one minute so its really really annoying. It all started when I went to that website and when a download window came up, I clicked open. I'm not 100% sure but i think when the download was completed, MS-DOS window came up for a second.  So im guessing that now that thing I downloaded is running on my computer. I tried to shut off that program but going to Task Manager and clicking End Task, but it didnt let me. It didnt even let me open the Task Manager window. When I go to Task Manager, it would stay on for a second or not even and go off, without giving me any chance to shut off any program.

PLEASE HELP ME THIS IS SO ANNOYING!
