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.

[Defgeph]

[lagos]

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

I've reset all network setting to default, used aim fix, checked for spyware, dl jay's free antivirus. Scanning right now. still nothing though

[Defgeph]

I searched aim virus on google.
Had a bunch of different sites, They all seem to lead back to jayloden.com

[lagos]

i think defgeph found the virus file.

search you computer for
winmys.exe and delete it

if you cant deleted then make sure u end the process 1st, or do it in safe mode.

[Defgeph]

k guys delete winmys.exe

And use msconfig to remove it from start up.

Then you should be fine.

DAN AGAIN YOU SUCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Puchi]

eat it, I use GAIM

[macavely]

I got it from Dan to.. keep mre from getting on the internet... but still could run telnet ..... so this is how i got ride of it.... when to system retore and went back to a date before the virus was on there.... then ran virus scan once the file where put back in... and fount that little bitch ... u can't delet it with a virus scan u have to manualy go into ur files and remove ....
