Recently while chatting to a couple of people I get the last message with that link and they immediately go away. I have yet to click the links and well I know it's not their pictures because having seen that same link sent to me from various people my my AIM list and them suddenly go offline is well suspicious. So, anyone else besides me getting that? I ran an av scan, makware scan, etc scans and nothing so I am thinking it might be a problem on the other end. So, anyone else getting this on AIM?

That's pretty strange. It's nothing I have seen. I'll keep an eye out though and let you know if I get that from anyone.

It's a virus on the people's computer of who you are chatting with. I've got the same with some random tards on my msn too. But only from the people where I know they randomly download stuff to gain a couple viruses. [lol]

Alright I got quick info already. It's a root kit virus on the computer who sends you the link. So coasterkidmwm and jakizle are infected. To remove it click here: http://www.jayloden.com/aimfix.htm

Apparently, it's a user on here who is sending the links.
Oh, were you expecting something here?

I doubt that. I think jakizle got infected on the porn site he visits and then infected ckmwm.

Or Jakizle linked ckmwm all his porn sites so that ckmwm also could have some evening pleasures.

I think this might be doing more damage than people are expecting.....I didn't click any links but be careful.....I'm having tons of problems with exe file association.

^No, you just have some other virus. [lol] I got the link a couple of hours ago at work. Not thinking of this thread that I read last night last night, I naturally clicked on it haha. I got our IWSS security event error. (blocked) lol

I seen those before.I ignore them.I never click on any link from anyone in a message window.But if you have a good antivirus program,it should stop anything that can be harmful to your PC! But there are some that can get through.So the best thing to do is to not click on any link your not sure about.

One time a friend on my sisters sent something like that to my sister and she "didnt know it was a virus" clicked it and it completely blew out our computer, it took like a week and a half to get back up and running.

I have to admit that i would normally click on such links. However i never had any virus troubles for clicking them since i use Opera (most malicious website code is aimed at M$ Internet explorer) with javascript turned off by default. I only turn it on for the sites that need it to work properly (like CC for example).
