Tristan’s Tidbit #3
So today I decided to finally upgrade my AOL Instant Messanger to the latest version. I had been stubbornly sticking to a much older version of AIM due to an UpdatedSoftwareVersionProblemPhobia. I finally allowed myself to upgrade, hoping that newer features such as video chat might actually work. Well, it turns out they still don’t work because you need to open up a crapload of ports on your router and mess with your firewall, but that’s not the point. While upgrading, I was reminded of an awesome free software product called Aim Ad Hack:
AIM Ad Hack is a free third-party add-on for AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) created by Cuban-Aftermath Software. The add-on removes advertisements from the GUI of AIM. AIM Ad Hack can also be used to remove spyware such as Viewpoint Media Player and WildTangent, which are commonly included in AIM installations…If there is any malware or spyware found on the computer from a previous installation of AIM, such as WeatherBug or WildTangent, AIM Ad Hack will remove it as well.
If you are using AIM…you absolutely should be using Aim Ad Hack. I insanely highly recommend it. I could have wrote this tidbit with 2 words: Use This. Aim Ad Hack is a no brainer. I’ve been using it for 10+ years without fail. It removes all the junk and leaves you with a cleaner better AIM.
