That's a virus/trojan that you have. Don't have time to type out the fix for it right now, gotta run to work and probably help folks get rid of it

Use the task manager (in 2K/XP) or the Ctrl-Alt-Del Programs list (in 9x) to see a process called either b.exe or av.exe. Kill that process and delete the file, which should be in your C:\Windows or C:\WINNT directory (whichever is appropriate). Then use regedit to search for either the name of a key called "antivirus" or search for a key that references the same name of the executable that you deleted (IIRC it should be in something like HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run). Delete that key. Then, use your AIM client to remove that link from your profile.

yeah, that thing sux. i had it for a while. anti virus could not get rid of it because it was running. i just terminated the b.exe process and then the antivirus software went to town. i didnt know that it was the b.exe that caused it though, i thought you got it from clicking that link in the profile

you do! you click the link, then it downloads and runs b.exe and the executable installs it in your profile.
