Fr___ says: Earlier today I got a strange instant message from S_____. It had that same link, but with my name. What's going to happen if it's opened? Is this a joke, or is it really a virus?
T__S says: Its a virus. Its a nasty little sucker and so far there isn't a fix. Aolani has it too, she didn't know and clicked it. My grandma now has it as well because as soon as my mom said not to click it, she clicked it.....
If I find a fix for the bugger, I'll post and I hope that if anyone else finds one they will do the same.

Actually several others of us got hit with it too. Another person and myself have the Charter Hi-Speed Security Suite anti-virus and that isolated and removed it--I don't know how but if you have Charter cable, run your anti-virus and it will get rid of it. I wish I could be more help. I did get the name of the thing off the anti-virus log, if that's any help at all. Its: Just don't click anything!
A___M says: i got it removed with the update of avg that came out last night.
