I don't open mail unless I know who it's from. This instant message box
Says "Hey, Good News! Somebody says they are your buddy and wants you
to show up on their AIM Profile. Click here now to see the 1 request you
have waiting"

I can't get rid of this and I don't want to open it. Is there anything I can do?

Would you like to disable AIM or uninstall it if you do not use it?
