IM virus

There are some IM viruses going around right now. Don't have time to find actual links to articles... but if you are using IM or MS Messenger, and you get a message with a link "Hey check this out" or "rofl: is this you", etc. (I would avoid any links) - don't click on it.

The virus looks like it comes from someone you know, and if you click it then not only do you get the virus but it starts impersonating you to other people.

I have second-hand knowledge of this actually occuring (I only use irc so don't have this problem). Just passing this along because I know several of my readers us IM extensively - and hopefully my daughter reads this before infecting our home computer...)
