I use AIM 5.2.3292. I've tried gaim, trillian, etc. and never liked them.

Anyways, then, add these lines to the hosts file:

127.0.0.1 ar.atwola.com
127.0.0.1 ads.web.aol.com
127.0.0.1 ads.aol.com
127.0.0.1 VTOT.proxy.aol.com

I agree, gets rid of all the crap. Streamlines the interface and is 100% Aim. Works for new and old versions.

Just stop using AIM altogether. You support terrorism if you support AOL

i like 5.5.3572 one of the first ones on old version

tats what i used and i havent updated my version of AIM in a couple of years

I didn't know AIM was real. I thought it was just a fairy tale to scare children into eating their vegetables.

Kinda like, "Eat your broccoli or I'm installing AIM on your computer"

I agreed. Sometimes I have accidently clicked on a stupid ad when trying to IM someone. Opens up a bunch of crap.

AIM without AdHack or DeadAIM is crap. I use AIM 5.5.3595 with DeadAIM 4.5.

Have you been living under a rock? First download an older spyware free version from oldversion.com, then get DeadAIM.
