Families, look for AIM update!

This is for AIM users and their parents (a whole lot of teenagers use AOL instant-messaging!): Look for a critical update that AOL will be releasing very soon. A vulnerability in AIM has been discovered which "could allow a malicious hacker to use the 'Away Message' feature to take control of a user's machine," Internet.com reports. AOL says a hacker could take over an AIM user's PC only if "a user actively clicks on a URL in an instant message conversation," which is always a bit risky.
