This thread describes the typical AIM “pic” message behavior: an unsolicited link, a small command-window/icon symptom reported by , and outbound messages seen by contacts. ’s follow-up and the clean ewido/HijackThis results are good signs, but a short checklist will help prove the system is fully clean and stop re-spread.

Recommended account-level steps: reset the AIM/password used to log in and sign out any remembered sessions; clear saved credentials in the IM client and browser; notify a few close contacts (via a different channel) not to click the original link. Disable automatic acceptance/display of images and files in the IM client while investigating.

System verification checklist (non-destructive): run a trusted offline rescue scanner (bootable media) so resident malware can’t hide; inspect autorun/startup entries and active processes with a known-good utility (look for startup items whose names closely mimic Windows files); check Scheduled Tasks and the hosts file for unexpected changes; verify system-file integrity with sfc /scannow. When examining suspicious files, compare file location, size, and digital-signature information rather than relying on the filename alone.

If nothing malicious resurfaces and scans remain clean, continue to monitor for a week and keep AV and the IM client updated. If suspicious items reappear or credentials are misused again, back up personal data and plan for a clean OS reinstall—persistent service‑spoofing infections are often best handled by reimaging. Finally, treat unsolicited IM links as high risk: confirm with senders by another channel before opening.

I don't see the usual signs of that infection in your HJT log. Can you give us any further info/details to go on?

I overlooked one malicious entry in your log:

O23 - Service: Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (lsass) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\scvhost.exe (file missing)

1.Open the Services utility in your Administrative Tools control panel.
- In the list of services, locate the service named Local Security Authority Subsystem Service orlsass and double-click on it.
- In the General tab of the Properties window that opens, click the Stop button.
- Once the service is stopped, choose Disabled in the Startup drop-down menu and then click Type OK.
- Close the Services utility.

2. Run HJT and have it fix the O23 - Service: Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (lsass) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\scvhost.exe (file missing) entry.

3. In HijackThis' main window, click on Config, then Misc Tools, and then press the Delete an NT service.. button. When it opens, enter the following in the deletion box and press OK: lsass
Close HijackThis after that.

4. Download and install the most current updates for MS Antispyware ewido, Avast!, SpyBot, and Ad Aware.

5. Run the above utilities while booted into Safe Mode; have them fix all malicious items they find.

6. Reboot normally, run HJT again, and post the new log. Also post the scan report log that ewido generated.

That all looks good; neither of those logs show any signs of infections as far as I can see.
