What version of AIM should I use? I know the newer versions have spyware and install junk, which older version should I download? THanks.

I would download Trillian instead.

I dunno I could'nt get into trillian, feels too different from aim to me, gaim feels just like aim and has access to all the others, and no ads adn junk either.

Try 'em both out.

Right click on the IRC "button".

Select Connection Manager.

Highlight the IRC Connection click on preferences, then Launch Server Manager.

Aim used to be netscape instant messenger.

when aol bought out netscape it came with it.

It's the only thing out of AOL i like.

Every AIM release after 4.7 has been junk-ridden. Trillian is the way to go...forEVAR
