Please take note of this--I had it happen to me and luckily I did not download what it asked me to...but do not be fooled!

Please note, this IS official and does come from the actual AIM site as opposed to being some Internet rumor.

Thanks, but my virus protection will catch almost anything.

The thing about this problem program is, it's not actually a virus, and therefore your virus checker will not pick it up. It's adware. So, you'll need to check your system manually for it, as the page advises.

There's a very good program for that called Ad-aware it automatically scans your computer for adware, malware and spyware and removes them. You can download it from www.lavasoft.com , it's free! :)
