I clicked on a link in AOL Instant Messenger and it put the W32.Allim virus on my computer. According to Symantec, W32.Allim is a worm that spreads a variant of the W32.Spybot.Worm through America Online Instant Messenger (AIM).
This is what happened: Body: hey check out this!
Notes:
Where "this!" is a link to the URL: http:/ /adw[domain removed]eo.com/gallery/pictures.php
A recipient must click on the link "this!", download the file [email address], and then execute the file.
The file is downloaded as [email address] (the default email address as set in Internet Explorer) and is a variant of W32.Spybot.Worm.
I've tried getting rid of it, and i'm not sure if I've succeeded or not. I checked the registry keys by following the steps on this website: http://securityrespo...32.allim.a.html
and couldn't find anything.
I ran Norton Antivirus, and Ad-aware, and I'm still not sure if they got it. Finally I came to Geekstogo.com and followed all the beginner steps, and ran Ad-aware again and Ewido, but I want to make sure the virus is gone, so I ran Hijackthis. Here is my Ewido report and my Hijackthis log:
