How to get rid of the AIM profile virus
By Neo PuNk
This is the simple way to get rid of that stupid profile virus. u know the one where "Hey look i found (ur name)'s picture; click here." that is so annoying. people think they have to make a new s/n, but u dont. listen up peeps, here is the way i found out how to get rid of it.
1. press ctrl+alt+delete
2. find 2 programs called av and one with like fuy in it (NOTE: most times people only find the av program, and thats ok, but for some they might have the other one. its ok if u dont have both but u MUST have the Av one)
3. highlight Av and press "end task"
4. got to My Computer
5. go into your C Drive
6. go into the folder called WINDOWS
7. open it up and scroll down until u see a program called Av
8. delete it, move it into the Recycle Bin
9. empty the Recycle Bin
10. go into ur profile and delete everything then press "finish"
and there u go, u can now edit ur profile and the thing will never come back (hopefully) lol. Note that this will not rid of the ENTIRE virus, only the profile one! i would go to download.com and get Ad-Aware 6 and delete the virus. hopefully this has helped u lol.
