AAM Updates Notifier>Malware/spyware>Help?

A friend of my had his Facebook account hijacked and bit.ly links in Facebook-initiated emails, FB private messages and wall postings all led to an Adult Friend Finder Porn Spam site. My friend has determined that he had been victim of the Nicespy 4 Keylogger n his PCs.

"AAM Updates Notifier" appeared on my Mac running OSX5.8 right after clicking through that spammed link in my friend's facebook thread. There is no disk image on my desktop (where my firefox DLs are assigned to write to), and I take no initiating action to install this program.

I've searched my drives using Finder and Spotlight and cannot find this installer to send it to the trash, so I'm wondering if anyone else has suggestions on how get this off my computer.

I figure Mike Treola will have the answer to me as soon as he sees this, but I figured I'd post it here in case others are having the same problem.
