Publisher's Description: |
AIMFix was created to remove all known AOL Instant Messenger-related viruses in one consolidated removal tool. It is designed to end the virus processes, delete the files, and remove registry keys created by the virus. I update the fix tool very frequently, and try to make sure it removes all AIM viruses. As long as I am aware of the virus, it is removed by AIMFix. So, if you have trouble with AIMFix not detecting the virus on your system, let me know and I will update it for you! I can be reached on AIM as HolisticDriving or via the contact form.
If you are concerned with the authenticity or safety of downloading AIMFix, I refer you to the "100% free" award AIMFix has garnered multiple times from Softpedia download archive, which certifies it free of all malware (viruses, trojans, and spyware). I have also created a users page where you can see a list of universities and organizations that use AIMFix. You can also search Google for my name or for AIMFix (or AIMFix) and you will find the millions of people who have been helped by AIMFix, as well as the dozens of Universities that officially support and recommend it.

History:
In November of 2003, the Realphx worm spread like...well, a virus, and was all over the web, hijacking people's AIM profiles and installing huge amounts of spyware on their computers. Thanks to Dave at rsasisp.com, a removal tool was provided, called phxfix. However, only a matter of days later, a new worm appeared linking to talkstocks.net. This was a simple variant of the realphx worm, and as there was very little information available, I posted a simple page detailing removal steps.
That simple page suddenly started to get a LOT of hits, and links all over the web. My little webpage was all the sudden being visited by thousands, then hundreds of thousands, of people, all looking for help. I worked through various attempts at making removal tools for people, but they were spotty at best. Finally, I contacted Dave from RSAISP and he was kind enough to pass along the source code for his removal tool for me to use. Using that as a launching pad, I took a crash course on C++ for Windows and AIMFix was eventually born.
While only about five or six lines from the original phxfix code actually remain, without it I would never have been able to put together AIMFix. I also would like to thank Jon and Warren for all their help.
