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!)

DO NOT follow the directions on their page. it takes off the hting from your profile but installs other spyware. here, use this: http://www.rsaisp.com/software.asp
