AIM Ad Hack
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
AIM Ad Hack is a free third-party add-on for AOL Instant Messenger 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. Unlike add-ons like DeadAIM, AIM Ad Hack actually modifies AIM itself to remove advertisements and spyware, making it unnecessary for the program to load every time AIM is started.
[edit] Features
