AIM Virus/trojan going around! Where do I report this?!?

Report it? No you clean up your computer and keep it clean with GOOD anti virus and anti spyware software. Install a firewall while you are at it. Here is a link to some good software that is free for personal use.:

I would get rid of AIM, as well. its too easy for hackers and malicious software to get to your computer when its running. ICQ is better, but instant messaging software runs a server application on your PC when you are logged in to the network.

I dumpped AO-Hell ten years ago.. I only use their instant messenger because everyone I know uses it..

Thanks for the tip.. I thought I was pretty much protected because I have all of those installed except zonealarm and mailwasher.. Verry odd avg didn't detect the trojan protector.exe that had installed itself to C:\ I have avg set up to automatically update and scan my entire hard drive once a day...

Whatever it was it did some damage.. Spybot coudn't remove it so I ran Ad-Aware and it failed also. I then proceded to boot to safe mode I managed to delete most of the crap with hijackthis but I still had no luck at removing one dll file.. Safe mode command prompt wouldn't let me remove it even. I finally got it straightened after booting to last known good config and then sifting through the registry to try to re-enable windows firewall which had been totally disabled and greyed out all the options..

Hopefully I've found all of the crap that got on here now..

Maybe u should consider convincing everyone u know to meet u on ICQ from now on. :)

Sometimes you have to turn off system restore to delete infected files. Just make sure you turn it back on when you're done, and you don't want to be oline when your computer is more vulnerable.
