Looks like another AOL IM profile trojan is floating around. It creates a profile that says "Happy Holidays Everyone!!!" and has a link below that to http: // www. buddypicture. net/ When the link is clicked on, your AIM profile is changed. Looks like there is a function to remove the adware, but I haven't tested it yet. -Frank ------------------------------------------------------------------ Frank J.
