So i had this IM from a friend that said, "i'm so cool" and then gave me this link. I was thinking maybe it was something from his band or something so, without thinking, I clicked it. Now I have this thing on my computer, and it has come to my attention that it sends this link to other people, randomly, on my buddy list. At first I just thought it added a dumb little toolbar to my internet, but then we people started being like "what is that?" and i had no idea what they were talking about, and then it sent one to me(because i have my own name on my list), and everything just kinda clicked.

So yes, if anyone knows how to get rid of this, it would GREATLY be APPRECIATED.

The Forum "before you post" faq Has direct links to virus and spyware removal tools.

ad-aware is one of the better ones.

ok, so I used the AIMFix one. It did indeed find things and says it cleaned them. My system is still acting weird though. I've also run ad-aware and a virus scan, ad-aware found things, not thing serious, but it did find things. But the virus scan found nothing. I made a new post about my virus, which can be found here........http://www.golivewire.com/forums/topic.cgi?topic=184974

(I know that you're not supposed to make a post directing to other posts, but this just seems logical, somehow. If you don't like it, please don't delete it, just message me and tell me to take off the link, because there's nothing wrong with the first part of this)
