Coolsights2000 Posted September 11, 2004 Share Posted September 11, 2004 Hi All!I put together a package to prevent the weather bug and wild tangent from being installed but I need your help on preventing the tool bar...What are the silent uninstall switches for the toolbarI included the script below just change to your paths...you will have to get the installer yourself it is to big to includedjust put it in the same folders as the MessAIM.cmdhttp://channels.netscape.com/wrap/linker.j...Install_AIM.exeEnjoy Mac!P.S.What AIM is doing is installing the loadersSo when you do finally go on the internet it loads you up...and even if you reboot they start up again silent...I shut down them down and removed them..MessAIM.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a06lp Posted September 12, 2004 Share Posted September 12, 2004 I didn't get the newest version...I still use AIM 5.5 - they really don't offer a version without all the extra crap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolsights2000 Posted September 12, 2004 Author Share Posted September 12, 2004 I know what you mean I played with the UK version aimUK5.5.3598.exehttp://ftp.newaol.com/aim-uk/aimUK55.exeThe only thing you have to deal with on the silent is the wild tangentThey don't get the AOL installer or the weather bug...and you can kill wild tangent before you go on the internet also my blockers prevent it from installing...Funny how other countries get different packagesSame goes for some other programs that you have to activate over the internet you don't there,,,When you use the UK one you get wild tangent no options,, to opt out...just delete the auto download manager files before you go on the net...Mac!
