I have two virus' that hit my computer. I thought they
were blocked, but I'm not sure. When I sign on to AOL, I
get a "Windows Messenger" pop up. It states "A newer
version is available. You must install the newer version
in order to continue. Would you like to do this now?"

It has a "yes, no, Ok, What's new" box.

Is there anyway to get rid of this virus?
