DELETED! [/Strongbad]

Yeah, I got them too.
*puts on tinfoil hat, gets into bunker*
Is a conspiracy, I tells ya. AOL has acheived sentience and is trying to conquer the world more than usual!

Got them, blocked them.

I haven't noticed anything, but I'm sure as hell going to kill some shit when I get home...

Yeah - deleted them...

None here, though there's a Slashdot Article about it.

Probably cause you use Miranda or Trillian (make up your mind which, I can never remember! )... as for me, I'm behind a pretty heavily policed uni network, which might've helped...

Miranda now; I'm not looking back unless it gets as buggy as Trillian is.

Viva Miranda!!

Ok it happened to me too, how do you delete these things? I just blocked them for now but can't find a delete option
I don't use AIM too much Can you tell?

got them when I started up GAIM today and deleted!

Use 'Buddy List Setup' or whatever it's called. Should be buttons there for the purpose. Select and exterminate.

All I did was do a "right-click" on the bot name then selected "delete.

Thanks, that worked, although I got a message shortly after saying they were no longer available to delete them whatever, at least they aren't cluttering up my buddy list anymore.

Oh and no I didn't have the delete option when I right clicked on the names of the bots I tried that already, I mean geeze give me some credit

Yeah, when you delete them it informs you of this fact, as if you didn't know already.

Even AIM 9.0 has the fuckin' things. But what really pisses me off is that I've clicked off the "open AIM.com" option several times but everytime I start AIM it starts opening a IE window to aim.com!!

Fuckin' thing.

For me, it hijacks Firefox.

I hate AIMbots, so I'm moving this to G&C.

Have a very nice day.

I got them this afternoon, and deleted them first thing. I wasn't concerned about bugs as much as I didn't care about whatever they had to shove down my throat.

Yup, it appears everyone is getting it. My roommate had it and I did too.

Yeah, it opens a new Mozilla window to AIM.com for me, too. Is it possible to turn that off?

No sign of the bots, though.

I haven't gotten this, but then, I haven't upgraded for quite some time.

I got 'em. Killed 'em off the bat.

Makes me glad I use Miranda.

Using Trillian, I just got this.

Delete!

I haven't gotten 'em yet, but my roommate did; we're both using regular AIM on the college network here.
