Computer Security Post
I use to be addicted to AIM and received an IM from one of my friends one more that had a link to a cute picture. Well sure enough it was a virus/trojan mix and ended up sending the exact same IM to everyone on my buddy list. My sister had just set up an AIM account for my mom and she was so excited she received an IM from me so she opened the "picture" right away. Well, it took several different anti-virus software programs to clean out both computers and my dad uninstalled AIM from everyone's computers after that.

The wisdom of fathers! We had a similar scare via AIM at our house. See my post. The computer resource specialist at school told me to ban my daughter from the computer!
