Offtopic: AIM Virus Removal

[theSpear]

Know anybody with the BuddyPicture AIM Virus? You know.. the one that overtakes there profile and says:
Happy Holidays Everyone!! New Years 2003 Partayy!
or
I can't believe I saw %n's picture here!
with links to buddypicture(dot)net)

Its an annoying virus and it spreads madly. Send them to The AIM BuddyPicture Virus Removal Instructions (http://www.thespear.net/aim.php) for help..
Also if you would please, spread this message around so it stops before those quickbuddy people dont get anymore victims!

Even if you dont have virus it is best to do steps 5 and below just incase. it will protect your computer later on and maybe find a virus that you didnt know you had on your computer!
Better to be safe then sorry.

dude i got that bug and it pissed me off. how do you get it? just by clicking the link to buddypicture right? evil thing erased my shoutout. had to write a ton of crap over again. grrzies. and tons of peeps read my profile so you must not have any friends on aim peofeo. i got a subprofile and its got like mass visitors so far.

yeah.. basically just visit site.. sites could make the site as a popup so unless u install the patch ur not safe.

[theSpear]
