Okay if you see someones AIM profile that says "I can't believe I found (screen name)'s Picture here" Do NOT click it. It will do the same thing to your profile. If you do by chance click it follow these steps. If you are on a OS other than XP plz post.

Insturctions on how to remove the "I can't believe I found %n's Picture here" virus.

Um, no.
That's Microsoft software, how is that any better than AOL? MSN has just as many viruses (virii?) as AIM, and the added bonus of being ... well, from freaking MICROSOFT.
I'll just stick with Trillian, thankyouverymuch.

-B.

Yeah Trillian is ALOT better. MSN, AIM, YIM, ICQ and IRC. Thats why I never got that virus. But I had to remove it from alot of my friends comps.

Banshee, I was only joking around. .
