Does anyone else have any information on this BuddyLink thing?

Someone with this spyware sends messages from thier aim screen name without them knowing with a link that takes you to a page with a game that asks you to install BuddyLink to play a game. Once installed, it does the same thing from your computer.

Anyone get this?

I'm rethinking toolbars. SAH "Shop At Home", a spyware proggie keeps coming back onto my system after I delete it directly from reg, temp cache and cookies and I suspect it's embedded in one of my new taskbars (Whois). This little sucker not only records your browsing habits, but it installs a Winsock 2 Layered Service Provider (LSP)that redirects visits to merchant sites to take affiliate fees from them automatically. Nice.

I got an IM with that link just yesterday, but as soon as I saw the page, I knew it was a scam.

I knew because of all the disclaimers at the bottom of that page. Plus -- the supposed game graphics looked terrible!

Gah, Ive seen a couple IMS to me from people with the virus, thankfully I dont download files from most people, and my internet help sites is getting a small spike in traffic for my AIM help articles, time to make one about this particular virus.
