Worm spreading through AOL IM?
Nothing is confirmed as of yet, but reports are circulating that a virus is affecting AOL instant messaging users.
According to multiple friends of mine, a message from a contact on your buddy list pops up saying- "check this out..." followed by a link with the following domain- wgutv.com. Once the link is clicked a game appears where you can shoot a cartoon character of Osama Bin Laden or Saddam Hussein. From there the worm apparently hijacks your contact list and sends the same URL out to all of those on that list.
I'm reporting this now and hope to have more complete story as soon as possible. So for now, don't click a URL that says "check this out...."
