If You Use AOL Instant Messenger, STOP

AIM bot creates "fight combos" to spread

Yuck! Because this bot/virus/malware program installs itself in several different layers, it's going to be really, really hard to remove! And if you're using AIM on a company-provided PC, this sounds like an excellent avenue to vent your company's private data to the people you LEAST want to have it! I don't mention private data just because it goes w/o saying (until I say it, I guess) that's always at risk with something like this.

If other web messengers are blocked than KoolIM is the perfect option for you.
