AOL != AIM.  AOL is the ISP, AIM is their messaging service which everyone uses.  The best way to not get infected is to not click on links with extensions you don't recognize and also hover over links to see what their actually linking to before you click.  .pif .com and .exe and .scr links are usually the most dangerous ones.  also if you are infected and are spamming other people you might want to let them know that they shouldn't click on the link
