There is a new AIM malicious thingy that uses holes in Windows (how surprising) to send itself out to everyone on your buddy list. It’s not a profile trojan (those have been removed from the internet) This only happens if you receive an IM from someone which says “check this out… http://www.wgutv.com/osama_capture.php” I clicked it but It did not load so I was spared. If you click on it it’s supposed to be a game of some sort, but while you’re playing it modifies the registry to start up spyware every time your computer boots. If anyone receives this IM do not click it. Make sure you have the latest virus definitions and the latest Windows Updates.
