Someone on my AIM buddy list got a virus that is sending itself in link form to people on her buddy list, including me. When I clicked on the link, my AVG and firewall both claimed to have protected me from it, and did not allow it to open. But, now when I try to open my web browser on that computer (my laptop), I get re-directed to what looks like some sort of fake AIM page that says it cannot load correctly or some BS. And when I try to go to any other site, it tells me the page cannot be displayed (I am using my desktop computer to post this, as I can't get to any webpages on that one). HELP! Please!

Also, I've just discovered that I can't connect to AIM on that computer now either. It stays stuck on the "connecting" stage and doesn't move. So I have removed my browser (firefox), but the default browser (IE) does the same thing. Also, I have removed AIM.

EDIT: All fixed! Thanks battie42!
