Help: AIM "Beach Pix" Virus

I won't give the link because I don't want anyone to click it, but I clicked a link that said..."Click here to see my Beach Pics" and it downloaded a file that now won't let me run taskmanager, it'll open up then close in 2 seconds, and it also randomly puts up the away message that has the link i originally clicked. Searched google and came up with nothing. Also ran Trendmicro online virus scan, spybot, and ad-aware and came up empty. Can anyone help? I feel stupid.... Shoulda realized to STOP when i saw it was a pif file....

Edit:
Also won't let me run MSconfig or taskmanager through Dos. Frustrating

I'm somewhat curious about this, could you post the link?

Try downloading AVG and running it.

Muahaha, another pervert looking for pics of chicks in bikinis busted!

Aw, I'm just kidding. . .though now you know not to click on strange links

haha it made sense though because my friend had been at alki beach the night before, so I really thought they were his pics.

I found a way around it killing taskmanager though. Just copied the taskmgr.exe file out of the system32 folder, saved it to the desktop and renamed it taskmgr.com The process it runs is called "AIM client". It keeps starting at startup though, so i'll try the removal tool zip22 posted. Thanks zip.

One fantastic reason that I love GAIM and firefox. I got hooked into a similar ploy (the wording was different) and firefox asked me what to do. I said cancel, immediately both AVG and Norton popped up and said I had a virus. They cleaned themselves and my system is running happy!

I dont know if this will help.Let me know.

Cousin had the same thing. To keep it from killing Taskmgr, msconfig and regedit, rename them Download aimfix from www.jayloden.com ...Fixed it for me.

AIM Fix didn't work for me first time. Had to kill the process (By doing the stuff I said above) then it worked. Still think its somehow affecting my computer though. Things aren't running as fast, and the interent seems slower. Maybe its just me thinking that though. Oh well, I needed to reformat soon anyways...
