According to a post from Neowin there is a new ring at AOL: “Ding - you’ve got rootkits!”; Just a reminder that EVERYTHING connected to the Internet needs to have anti-virus, anti-spam protection. Just because “that computer over there, oh it never gets used, lets not worry about security there” doesn’t get used until your daughter visits the office (famous Cisco commercial where his daughter nukes the network by installing a game) doesn’t mean you can let it just slide.

So if you did get hit by the AIM worm, its time to download some free AV software and free antispyware package or more for that system.
