The new aim

[dynasty]

I just formatted my computer and downloaded aim. I don't like the new version, it sucks. Do ya'll know where I can download a previous version of aim? Thanks

ftp://ftp.aol.com/aim/win95/ that has a couple old ones.

Don't the latest versions of AIM have spyware anyway?

http://www.oldversion.com has old versions of AIM and other progs.

I dont' know how it got there but I had a gain folder in my start menu after I downloaded some programs after my format last night. I dont' know how it go there, I didn't put it there. How did it get there, lol

yeah Wildtangent or something like that.

You can remove it, but you can't play the Games in AIM.

Ive been using the new AIM with the "spyware" removed for awhile. Also using Middle Man. Seems to work ok with the new AIM.

Is there any AIM version that has no spyware but is not completely outdated?

I also would like to know the answer to this question.

The new version of AIM has no spyware. Just uncheck the boxes that say "AIM Games" and "Weatherbug" when you install, and no additional programs will be installed. The only thing you'll need to clean up afterwards is the AOL Icons that get dumped everywhere.

I'd rather go with free Trillian than ad-filled AIM.
