I don't know how to fix this, but it is really pissing me off. I was on AIM the other night, and it just popped up an away message for an Angelfire site. No big deal, I found a fix for that and thought I was cured. Now, my Task Manager crashes if I open it, I can't use regedit because that also crashes, and I am having no luck finding the name of this file. When I do manage to see what is running before the Task Manager crashes, I see somehting called AIMMSNGR.EXE running. Looking on the internet, I found two people who said they had somehting close, but the files they said to delete are not in my system, so I have something different. CAn anyone help?

I found something. When I uninstalled AIM, it left about 8 .dll files. How can I remove these since they are all in use?

make sure AIM isn't running then trash the .dll's

Well, I hink I have solved the problem. Turns out it wasn't those .dll files after all. I managed to start in safe mode and isolate the files the were running causing the problems. I shut some of them down, and manageed to restart without them restarting. I used Panda active scan to remove them. it turns out I had 6 it could delete and i still have to remove one in there by hand.
I just need to figure out how to remove AIMMSNGR.EXE

No, because I can't find it. It isn't starting now, so i think i fixed it all.

I had the same problem. I spent every night this week trying to find the problem. My virus scan didn't find anything, spybot S&D didn't find it either. I downloaded "Start Up Cop" from PC Mag, disabled it and it kept coming back. You name it I tried it. Finally i did a google search for aimmsngr and found the following AOL IM WORM forum:
"This site has fixes for all those aim viruses. If you know what was clicked on it can most likely be removed http://elon.edu/student/jaleman/VirusClean.htm he has a program called aimfix. If that doesnt work scroll down he has cleaners for all the different versions going on I would suggest you guys scan on http://housecall.antivirus.com and/or update your virus scanner to latest version and dats. If you do not have a virus scanner google AVG free edition" This will get rid of it as well as others that might exist!!!
