Hi teletran5, welcome.

Open up task manager by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del, go to the processes tab and end task on ALL/any instances of these processes:
C:\WINDOWS\b.exe <--- there may be more than one, and you must end-task each and every one of them.
Then open windows explorer and delete C:\WINDOWS\b.exe

Have Hijack This fix the following by placing a check in the appropriate boxes and selecting fix checked. Make sure all browser and all Windows Explorer windows are closed before fixing.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Antivirus] C:\WINDOWS\b.exe

Reboot.

.

The virus text is still there.

What this AIM virus is doing is placing a text link in my buddy proflie. I deleted the b.exe file and followed the instructions. and rebooted. After that the link was still there,

It might just be that i have to delete it, and it wont come back this time. we will see.

thanks,

Yes, just delete it now.
And please visit Windows Update and install all critical updates ASAP.
