The aim virus is
a fairly new type of virus sweeping the
internet. It works it's way into computers
by users of the aim software when they click on
links or attachments.
The aim virus is
mostly a worm type virus which replicates it's
self and can shut down whole computer networks
with hundreds of computers connected to them.
The aim virus
worm or Trojan can be a backdoor to your computer
allowing a hacker access to your computer and
files.
These types of
viruses such as the aim virus have been used to for zombie attacks or
denial of service attacks to shut down web
servers world wide. These are some of the
attacks you have heard about in the news, where
famous companies web sites are shut down costing
them a lot of money

What happens is a
user clicks on a link in the aim software.
If this link is infected the user then gets the
aim virus. This backdoor virus is then
either used to gain access to your pc or use
your pc as a zombie attacker to shut down a
website.
The user behind
the aim virus uses software to control when the
computers are used to start the zombie attack.
You need to keep
your self protected from the aim virus.
Doing so not only protects you and your computer
but it also helps keep the internet protected
from these so called zombie attacks.
Not too many
people know these reasons for keeping your
computer and the internet protected. So,
spread the word and make sure all your friends
and family are protected against the aim virus.
Keep your anti
virus software updated and do not just click on
any link you find in your aim software.
The aim software is over used by marketing and
virus people. You may find you get a lot
of links even if you first just signed up for
the software.
As you can see
the aim virus can really be a pesky
little virus to get rid of.
Don't just click
on any link you receive when using aim.
Only click the links from people you know.
This way you won't get the aim virus.
