Can i send a virus this way? urgent!!!!!!!!!

Question

if my computer has a virus can i send it through aim?

if i send an im ot my friend and my computer has viruses will i send it to them?

Answer 1

No, you can't send viruses through AIM, but you can through email. This is because email transfers files and such, whereas AIM only transfers text.

Answer 2

I don't think it can, unless it's programmed to send it out of accounts. Remove it with an anti-virus program, better safe than sorry.

Answer 3

yes and no, i've had one of my friends have a virus where everytime you would log on when they were on, it would automattically say "think these pictures are to s**y for myspace?" and then it would try to get you to download and run a batch file, so unless they download a file that you "send" than no... email yes tho
