Apparently, somehow, something sent out an instant message to most everyone on my buddylist containing a link to some "capture osama" game. Im not sure what this could be except a virus, although my virus scanner didn't detect any viruses.

Just be on the lookout for something like this happening to you, and NEVER open any links that might be in such a message.

I got some of those from some FIRST people too. Basically all you need to do is look on your start -> all programs menu and see that something like "buddylinks" or "buddygames" was installed and there should be a folder for it. I noticed this earlier today and there is a preferences program for it and it has a checkbox to automatically send out IMs about this game. Infact, the person I was getting them from sent me about 6 messages today. Once I noticed this I went into my Control Panel and removed the files. You may also want to look under your "program files" on your hard drive and remove the folder for it after you uninstall it.
