Nasty Website?

[mts04988]

I was reading one of my mate's AIM profiles Screenname>Get Info on AIM 5.2, I clicked on a link in her profile that led me to buddypicture.net....

it apparently is some sort of virus or something but I cant track it down. When I tried to sign on today I get a message saying "Your buddylist and buddyicon are not currently availible but they are not lost." I was wondering if anyone knew what the problem was and how to remedy it. Thanks!

Heres a copy:
(Error)
Your buddy list and buddy icon are not available currently, but they have not been lost.
Please try again later.

[OK]

apparently it is not caused by that site...
AIMs servers too be down...so I believe...but ....
That website was scary. If anyone has a safe browser (I reccommend not using IE go to buddypicture.net, and u'll see what it says about spyware!! eep&#33
