Norton wouldn't quarantine the virus? But then I don't go very often on AIM.

Once you put the virus in quarantine (and you did update your virus definitions, didja?) you should be able to delete the infected file; though you may hafta re-install AOL IM.

Lesson learned -- unless you KNOW what you are downloading is from a trusted site or you know who is sending you a file and you made previous arrangements beforehand (even if it's a good AIM chat buddy), do NOT open the file! This goes the same for all you people who download music and stuff on Kazaa.
