Another one of the AOL worms; this one instant messages all users on
your buddy list. The message I've recieved is "check this out:
http://ww.wgutv.com/osama_capture.php?bNek". The link is a fact news
website telling you to download some software . Once you install the
software on the page; it immediately instant messages everyone on your
buddy list.

The software it installs is something called buddylinks. According to
buddylinks.net, Buddylinks is a "revolutionary new way for instant
messenger users to instantaneously share entertaining content with their
entire IM "buddy list" network all at one time". I can't make this
stuff up.
