with some searching i found this, hopefully it'll work.

1) Press the CTRL ALT and DEL keys at the same time to bring up the task manager.

2) Click on the processes tab (windows 2000/XP), and find "b.exe" or "av.exe" and kill the process.

3) Go to C:\Windows and delete "b.exe" and "bbb.exe" or "av.exe" (If you are unsure where this is, gjo

to "My Computer, then click on "Local Disk C:" and then open the folder

called "Windows"or "Winnt" if you are on Windows 2000)

4) Click Start, then click on Run, type in "Msconfig" in the box and press ENTER..

When the box comes up, click on the "startup" tab and look for "b.exe" or "av.exe" listed (probably

labeled as "antivirus") then uncheck the box on the left of it. (Windows 98/XP only)

5) Finally, do not forget to remove the link from your profile.

i click on his link, but the link wasnt even a valid url. so firefox said it count not find the site. maby its an IE exploit?

i found this app called aimfix
http://www.jayloden.com/aimfix.htm

after running it, it found on file on my computer and deleted it, even tho i didnt notice any signs of a virus on my computer.

[Consynx]

Me Too.. I didnt open it though

[Supersprynt]

Yeah good call posting this, I was bout to do it myself. I got one from Playr and Jwalk...

[amysmojo]

I clicked on it the other day...I forget who "sent" it to me. But it never did anything, just sat there. My computer seems to be just fine, so I dunno? Internet is working & everything....

[chucho]

ya, my blocker killed it. never did anything just popped up and wouldnt run it. But it just sends out a message to everyone on ur list every second, atleast thats what it did to my friend. So its more of an annoyance. Making you close all the windows, u know

[lagos]

run that aimfix app i posted. i didnt notice anythigng strange with my pc but aimfix found an infected file and deleted it.

[dustin15brown]

I suggest everyone who got that from Dan should get kick his ass.. lol
