Alert, ICQ is spamming due to a possible virus attack.

Since 3 days ago, I've been getting the SAME messages from various people on my user list. I was wondering if any of you guys are aware of it??

The message is as follow:

http://www.jokeworld.biz/index.html ) LOL

I went to that link and saw nothing harmful about it but my bro said that he did not send the message to me and his friend's icq went dead after doing the same thing.

The link will not appear in the history of the person who sent you that. I just confirmed it with my bro.

I still do.
I hate how people on msn change their nicknames to say what they are doing.
I despise AIM because it can't keep a history or send messages offline.

Just don't use the official icq client.
