weird funky virus? Installs itself and screws w/AIM and IE

[cessna152]

DO NOT GO TO THE FOLLOWING LINK

www.realphx.comwww.realphx.com

Has anyone heard about this site or whats on it? My roommate clicked a link for it in a friends AIM Profile. It seems to reset your homepage to that site, edits the AIM Profile to display a link, and it leaves a av.exe background process, and possibly other processes. Anyone know anything about it? Whatever it was, installed itself without asking for permission.

DO NOT GO TO THE LINK

I've been to that website because some jackass gave me the link, but it did absolutely nothing to my computer. I ran Norton and ad-aware after I found out that it may have done something, and it had no effect on my computer. I believe if you are patchedm you are safe.

BWAHAHAHHA.

I just went to the link in lynx. (So it can't do squat).

It still tries to sell me something to "get rid of" the crap they try to install.

Here's what it looks like (sort of):

Yes, the alt tag on the image link on the page actually says "Penile". Somehow I think I should be glad lynx doesn't show me the pictures.

the website tries to open a file called detour.hta with contains the Nemite@MM virus. My McAfee was able to stop it .
