For you AOL Instant Messenger users...

[Chuck 97 GTS]

A vulnerability has been discovered in the Windows version of the AOL
Instant Messenger software.(AIM software running on other platforms
such as Linux or the Macintosh do not appear to be vulnerable). If
exploited, an attacker may be able to run programs on your computer
without your permission, much like a worm or virus can. A temporary
fix can be applied that will help to reduce the risk.

1. Go to your Preferences
2. Go to the Privacy section
3. Click "Allow only users on my Buddy List" under "who can
contact me"

This is not a perfect fix, if someone on your buddy list gets
attacked, you can be attacked by that infected individual. Users
should watch for updated AIM software from AOL. AOL is also
expected to patch it's servers to alleviate the problem. More
information about this vulnerability can be found at http://www.newsbytes.com/news/02/173320.html

Already been fixed....

[-RUNNR]

A much better fix is to uninstall the **** thing in the first place.

But that's just my inherent hate of AOL showing...
