Hasn't this been going around for a while? I've seen worms spread without people knowing they're sending the messages.
It will be fixed in Toril 2.0.

don't know about the AiM one since I won't use them due to some unsavory things AOL does, but MSN had one that would send a link awhile back and the sender was unaware of it happening.

I'm still waiting for the day someone writes a worm that our personal computers commit armed robbery against us and run out the door with our wallets.

i was stupid enough to click on some file that this girl's computer worm thingy sent to me. but cause i use trillian, nothing happened, but i still had to dl mcaffee and use adaware program. the thing isn't perma removed tho. like it might be some trojan thing. i've never had this happen, to my comp. cause i've never been so careless like that. ugh.
