Beware of this IM Virus

For the past few days I have been getting funny PMs from a few people on my Yahoo! Messenger Buddy List. These are some of the messages that I got.

Breaking news : school girls are kidnapped by the terrorists !! hxxp://mytermex.com/?news_id=18388

Luckily I was aware about this virus as I had earlier read about it on Digital Point Forum.

After you get infected by the virus, it will try to kill your AntiVirus and will instantly send a PM to all your IM buddy friends. The virus does not affect Firefox and Opera, but IE users are going to have a tough time with it.

Have you come across this IM Virus? If yes, how did you get rid of it?
