Yah, I think you uninstall AIM then reinstall it, it will go away. I had one like that except it said 'OMG LOOK?!?!?!???!?!?!" and then a link and I just asked my brother to get rid of it since he's a computer genius. But my friend just uninstalled AIM so that should work :D

If you know the .exe name you can manually kill it in safe mode.

Never ever click wierd links or dl unknown programs. Scan it with antivirus scanners or just highlight, don't click the link to see where it goes. if it like: http://www.359593.org/340349042- or something really long and u not sure where it goes, Don't click it to not get it next time.

bring it to a shop. or defrag your computer. that might help. when we got a virus from aim, we had to get a new computer!
