Hey all, I most literally just got this IM from a friend:

should i put these pictures of us on myspace or facebook? http://photobucket.com/NewPictures/picture40.jpg

After checking the actual URL (which I won’t post here for obvious reasons) I saw it was a fake and there is a new AIM virus. Now I don’t know when it surfaced or if there is a fix for it yet, but for the time being (and usually) ASK FRIENDS ABOUT LINKS BEFORE CLICKING. I will update as I find out more info.. Later!

UPDATE: It seems Jay Loaden’s AIMFix was last updated on Monday. That seems close enough to be the fix for this virus. If you get it, there is your site.
