New AIM virus?

[Raven_Writer]

I do have a virus scanner, which also runs in the background. Nothing has came up, but when I get home I'll do a deep scan.

I'm using the newest version (5.9.x), but no add-ons like DeadAIM or the like.

As for using Trillian, I don't really like it all that much. It's a great program, but to me it's a lil' to cluttered and stuff. Just me though.

Soln 3: Check your computer. You may just have installed the said virus with your AIM or gotten it through ads that AIM brings about. Don't be so fast to blame it on the program guys, if you don't ahve a highquality ad sense program running, it may just be your fault for bringing it to your computer.

For #2, there's a few reasons why that won't work for me (I help out people on bandwidth issues [ala send files to people when they're down]), and some others.

#3: That theory didn't really come to me, but I had certain feeling that it might be that. I know it wasn't me though, because I don't click on links from other people without really knowing what it is; so if this is true it had to have been my sister (since she's the only other one to use the computer).
