New AIM worm???

Could someone help me get infected with all these crap? I've gone to all three of their sites with a totally unpatched XP installation and I still haven't gotten all of the stuff I'm seeing other people have. In case you're wondering, I'm trying to update the fix I made a few weeks back. Is there perhaps a file sharing thing I need to install with them or get an older version of aim?
 
My sister got it a week ago. It installed tons of porn icons on the PC and had tons of porn popups. It kept on changing her profile on AIM too. She got it by clicking yes to an activeX box though. The page was designed to force a lot of people to press yes. Adware got the porn stuff off but I had to remove av.exe from the registry and the hard drive.
 
saw it on a friends's profile, clicked it, waited for a long time and it didnt load (kinda like what fark.com does on my system, win2k/ie6). i later found out it was a worm, but checked my system and i was uninfected
