Anyone else getting attacked by the others on AIM?

[pray4mojo]

Is there any way to fix it? Every 5 minutes or so I get about 5 people sending that damn message.

 

[Kipper]

Yeah...I've been getting that msg.

Any idea what starts it?

 

[hdeck]

others on your buddy list or randoms?

People on my buddy list.

 

[Gurck]

I haven't, but then I tend not to put random retards on my buddy list, and I have messaging from strangers disabled.

It's not my fault that I know girls who are computer illiterate. Oh wait maybe it is.

"hey check out this"

the "this" is a link to some website where im assuming you download some crap and install it. So whoever has this made two damn mistakes.

You can simply block all your friends.

 

[FleshLight]

Your friends are stupid and click on the link. Link installs trojan on their comp. Trojan hijacks AIM to message other people. Kill your friends.

767,846 of those can be circumvented by using a third-party client such as Gaim.

 

[SWScorch]

I'm pretty sure it's a virus. I clicked the link and it asked me if I wanted to install something. I said no, but then AVG and MS AntiSpyware said they blocked a trojan from installing.

 

[darkswordsman17]

Its an IRC bot. Their computers have been zombified and are now trying to eat your brains.

 

[JustAnAverageGuy]

I haven't.

Then again, the only people I have on AIM are DeviousTrap, another web host that I know, and maybe 4 friends that I've trained very well

I primarily use MSN.

Oh, and trillian :thumbsup:

 

[Deeko]

I've gotten it from 2 people today.

Funny thing is I don't have either name on my buddy list. Didn't even recognize the first one, the second one is someone I only vaguely know through her friends. I was mildly amused that she had me on her buddy list.

incorrect.

i don't get why people even use this bastardized piece of shit. AIM is so ghetto compared to MSN.

 

[ArmchairAthlete]

Real friends aren't that retarded.

 

[AkumaX]

its an aim virus spread to everyone on their buddy list; opens up a port on the infected person's computer and sends people the file automatically if they click on it

 

[Zolty]

just reply back to them with a link to MS antispyware

 

[mercanucaribe]

Isn't it illegal for hostingwarehouse to host this? It's in their root directory too.. DO NOT CLICK -->http://hostingwarehouse.net/home/funnypics.com <-- DO NOT CLICK

 

[Howard]

MSN contacts are also affected.
