Hi...
For a period of two weeks now, my friends have been complaining to me that I keep IM'ing them on aim with suspicious links citing 'free ipad, click here' or something to that extent. I must have contracted a virus of some sort and I cannot figure out how to eliminate it.
I use iChat exclusively for aim on my macbook, no other programs are installed.
Other details I can provide are:
1) It appears that these messages are sent when I am not even voluntarily logged on ichat myself. One friend noticed me sign on for 2 seconds, send him the message and sign off immediately.
2) On advice of an apple rep, I used the install disc that came with my macbook, clicked archive and reinstalled all of my Mac OS X applications
However, the problem still seems unresolved as my friend just again told me he got another message from me.
IF anyone can help me localize and eliminate this virus I would be very much appreciative.
