AIM Patch?

[xinok]

Does anyone know of any good freeware patches for AIM? I'm looking for something similar to DeadAIM, or A-Patch for MSN Messenger. Thanks

yeah. it's called 'add/remove programs > uninstall'

http://gaim.sourceforge.net/

http://www.miranda-im.org/

there's a lot of other multi-protocol IM clients as well.

I completely agree with atomizer. also check out miniaim and portablegaim.

He wants patches. Not alternative AIM clients.

Google these:

AIM AdHack (older versions can be found on etplanet.com)

AIMutation

To those who recommended alternative clients: Thanks anyways, but I've found that the official clients always work much better.

I found AIM AdHack lite, which worked perfect.

TBH, the ads in AIM didn't bother me... until it started playing video ads O_o Then I decided the ads had to go.

So thanks a lot for the recommendations.

glad ya got what ya wanted.

I personally use AIMutation 1.3.2 with AIM 5.5.3598 sadly its been discontinued.

I also put the following in my C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts (no extention) file.

127.0.0.1 ar.atwola.com

127.0.0.1 empiremovies.com

127.0.0.1 xlonhcld.xlontech.net

127.0.0.1 VTOT.proxy.aol.com

127.0.0.1 ads.web.aol.com

127.0.0.1 ads.aol.com

thats stopped every ad for me so far. empiremovies is the one that plays the annoying movies.

When I first used AIM, the darn JAVA ads kept freezing up AIM.

When I loaded AIM Ad Hacks, I kept getting kicked off every 10 minutes or so.

When I switched to GAIM, all was well.

I can't IM Yahoo/MSN clients with Aim even with the above patches.

any solutions
