Rootkit Takes Aim at AOL "Security researchers have identified a rootkit being spread through AOL's popular instant messaging client and AOL chat rooms. Bundled within the previously identified W32/Sdbot-ADD worm, the lockx.exe rootkit file is installed when users click on the file link within the IM window.
