I'm assuming it's a bot, because I always get the same message saying basically click on the link in my profile. The link contains an IP address (I don't click on them, just hover my mouse over them).
Which version of AIM is this with? I'm just wondering if this is a problem that's more pronounced with the newer version.

I haven't had any problems yet but I don't use AIM that often.
