Is there a adware-free AIM and YIM??

[Theguynextdoor]

I'm sick of these ads in AIM. I don't know if YIM has any but I can't see them which is fine with me.
I know there is trillian, but I hate that interface.

TIA if there are any available.

Miranda...bloat-free with no ads and plenty of plugins.

GAIM seems to be working well for me at the moment.

Trillian w/ skins?

 

[Theguynextdoor]

😕 I don't know what either one of those are but I'll google them...

I'll try that, but if the interface still sucks as bad as it did before I'll kill it.

Judging from that sponsers list that means there are ads?

there are no ads (screen shots on the right hand side), its opensource freeware, one of the many great free programs available from sourceforge.net

Awesome just DLed it. :beer:

how about blocking the ads in AIM? you can just add a few entries into your host file so that no ads come up.

Sorry my software/hacking skills aren't that advanced.

 

[CarLBanks]

I would say Trillian since Trillian 3.0 is far more advanced.

I agree... everytime I mouse_over the little ad on the upper portion of the IM Buddy List, a freak ad pops up. So annoying.

AIM along side "AIM Ad HACK" works great for me.

Another vote for Gaim here. Tried Trillian, found it too bloated & buggy for my taste.

Ok I'm using Miranda here, I dont' know how to transfer files, or direct connect or use any of the features of AIM. Even the smilies are missing. 😕

take a look at miranda's many plug ins, if it is not there by default, there is a plug in for it. Some of us dont like smilies and consider it bloat, anything extra is probably going to be turned off and you will have to look for it in options or you will have to get a plug in.

I see, I just hope they work with regular AIM. Installing now...

Try the official AIM web based client:

Aim Website

Look under "Keep In Touch" on the left hand side and select "AIm Express". No install required.

I use it all the time and it works great.
