There is a new AIM virus out. If you recieve a message with a link and it is along the lines of, "Check out this cool video" or "Doesn't this picture look like me." The links maybe familiar such as ebaumsworld. If you hover your mouse over the link you will notice that the url that appears is strange or is an IP address. (ex. xx.xxx.xxx.xx). Do not click this link. It will direct you to a web page that may tell you to download something. DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT. It is a worm. If the link is sent from someone you trust it doesn't matter. They have no control over it. Your anti-virus will not protect you because none of them have IM filters.

Yea, a lot of you already know this. It is written to explain it to non-computer savvy people (aka most of my friends).
