Ah, there it is :)

Immune to it, thanks to...

a) Firebird

b) MirandaIM

Anyone using IE and/or AIM deserves to get infected. BTW, they post removal instructions right on their webpage....http://www.buddypicture.net/remove.htm

They clearly say it isnt a virus, its adware.

I'm gonna put the link in my profile :)

[spearman]

yeah im not even going to the site but whateverr.. its still a virus.. gets in w/o ppl wanting it to and spreading itself.. adware is popping up ads on the persons computer.. so yeah.

*addition.. even if you dont have the virus its best to do part 5* and below just in case!
