fermentor666 Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I just upgraded the AIM program to their latest version and now the stupid thing crashes on me every 30 minutes and opens up the AIM spam page on start-up even though I unchecked that in preferences. I don't want to re-install because I installed some patch that took me forever to find so that there are no ads on the top of the program (mainly to get rid of the ads with sound that are incredibly disruptive). This may be what's causing the patch, but I'm not about to go back to getting spammed aurally as well as visually. I also don't want to stop using the network. Are there any 3rd party programs that connect to the AIM network? Can you still direct-connect/send files/get files with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fermentor666 Posted June 20, 2005 Author Share Posted June 20, 2005 I'm gonna try deadaim first because I got the files, I just need to wait to have my e-mail changed on the account so I can get my password sent to it because I don't remember my password and if I uninstall it the saved password will dissapear. Right now it's got an e-mail address that hasn't been active since 2001. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrChupacabra Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 GAIM=Gay Aim. Both me and my father agree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fermentor666 Posted June 20, 2005 Author Share Posted June 20, 2005 Actually GAIM is a third party program for the AIM network. AOL is gay, yes, but there are a lot of people I talk to on AIM so nyah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackfatsoe Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 i got this virus by clicking on this link in aim, and even though the virus doesnt run anymore, its still on my comp, and everytime i turn the computer on, it asks if it should run this virus program. HOW DO I DELETE IT FROM MY COMP? INFINITE THANKS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Quickwood Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 i'm having the spam page problem too, and the advertisements at the top waste bandwidth, i think i'll try trillian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
