AOL IM 'Away' message flaw deemed critical

Computer security companies are warning users of America Online Inc.'s Instant Messenger (AIM) software that a serious security hole in the product could allow remote attackers to execute malicious code on computers that run the popular instant messaging software.

Hmm... I use to send an IM to someone and once the away message came back, I can warn them to 100%.

is it possible to warn to 100 with a single sn? i thought multiple screenames were required to warn a person to get em to 100.
