    I dont know if this has been discussed here but it seems to be some kind of
    malicious buddyicon floating around that crashes your AIM client after receving
    a messeage from someone who is using this icon and sends a message.
    
    The instruction at 0x77578448 referenced memory at "0x20371644". The memory
    could not be "read".
    Unhandled exception in aim.exe (WINMM.DLL): 0xC0000005: Access Violation
    
    =>77578448   cmp         dword ptr [esi],61746164h
    
    
    Anyone have any more info about this ??
