AOL’s instant messaging service has been hit by a virus which downloads spyware onto computers via a special website.

The virus spreads via messages on AOL’s AIM software, either saying HILARIOUS!!! Or see thing!!!, with a URL. Clicking on the link takes the user to a web page that attempts to download a Trojan onto the computer using patchable flaws in the browser.

AIM Fixes here.

AIM Fix was created to remove all known AIM viruses in one consolidated removal tool. It is designed to end the virus processes, delete the files, and remove registry keys created by the virus. I update the fix tool very frequently, and try to make sure it removes all AIM viruses. As long as I am aware of the virus, it is removed by AIM Fix.
