Always look before you click on a link or email attachment. In the past, everything from AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) messages to email to web pages have been used to lure people into clicking on a link and infecting their computers with all sorts of malicious software. If someone sends you a link in AIM and it goes to some random Web site in Romania or Nigeria, it could certainly be an attempt to damage your computer. Be suspicious.
