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.

    I’ve always been a learn-by-doing kind of guy. Maybe it’s because I’m thinking about other things when something is explained to me, or maybe people are bad at explaining things. But either way, a concept doesn’t really sink in until I do it, or until I see an immediate application for it. When I learned…
