	i kept getting that on AIM too.. my sister's friend kept asking me if I minded that he put our picture on myspace? and I read it and thought "ehm, we've never taken a picture together" and the link wasnt even to myspace, so i didnt click and like 5 minutes later he'd ask if I liked his new picture and put the same link and for a few days he kept trying to get me to click - there were like 3-4 different messages that came with the link, but after a while it stopped.

	ya, even if it's from someone you know, still be carefull of what you download, people can hijack aim accounts. Make sure you know exactly what it is. And if its an EXE, just ask for the site they downloaded it from.
