Or uninstall AOL messenger (all your contacts should be saved) get yourself a virus checker (there should be loads on the net e.g www.mcafee.com have a free one), run the virus checker (if it's a free one it might just give you a list of infected files), delete the files. Then just reinstall AOL messenger.
I'm not familiar with the program, so you may not even have to uninstall it, just don't boot it up (if it boots up automatically there's probably an option to stop it doing this).
If it is a wide spread virus AOL have probably come up with a fix by now.

Your backdoor is open its a microsoft security issue.
Easy fix giving you a few sollutions. Im not Tech but will try to right it out clear and understandble.
Goto get net wise and find the Ad Aware 6.0 ( its free DL ) also get the add-on that closes your backdoor to instant messager.
The add-on will fix the problem by you closing your backdoor ( port ) and you can scann your HD to see if it is infected and this program will also remove the infection for you.
However like mentioned above Mcfee or Norton are some of the very best you can get.
The port can also be closed manualy without any new software and differs for each operating system ( win2k / win xp ect ) .
If you have to post again plz list system and any errors files try to gather as much info about your PC and the program as possible.
Hope that helps you out best of luck.
