AIM Virus?? PLEASE HELP!!

Since yesterday, every few minutes or so (even when I haven't gone idle) when I'm signed on AIM, an automatic away message goes up saying "New Pictures" with a link. Even when I have my own away message up, after a few minutes, mine is replaced with the one with the link. I think the link may lead to a virus/bug. I've ran my anti-virus programs but it didnt catch anything.. what do you think is causing this away message to pop up automatically every few minutes?

AVG free edition. I recommend it.

The link doesn't work. Thanks anyway though =) I don't think its a virus thats causing the problem though, I've scanned my computer twice already and it didn't catch anything.

Oh apparently the [url] tag's add http to everything, hence the not working.
And I dunno what that is then, spyware?

AIM Fix was created to remove all known AIM 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.
