there r many viruses that spread via IM networks. but what you say is not exactly a virus. it is a bot (an AI) that has infected the machine of the person sending you this message. it asks you to click a link...
please remember this unless you click on the link you'll not suffer. (and thinking of clicking why should you... in the first place.) on clicking so it will take you to a web-ste which has malicous code in it, which in turn will install the virus on your computer.
P.S.: Just a small suggestion, whenever posting an info regarding viruses, its always good to post a backing link to support your message, because who knows it just might be a hoax.
