Alternative to AOL Instant Messenger

gaim. started using it almost two years ago, and i've never looked back. handles aim, msn, icq, yahoo, and irc, and isn't quite as flashy and annoying as trillian.

AIM just gave one of our computers a virus with the stupid AIM today popup links that always come up...

AIM is pretty much a mainstream form of contact for most people, and we'd still like to be able to talk to people that are on AIM...

Is there any program that would be able to do this? I'm just sick of AOL and all the crud you have to put up with to use their awful messenger.

I highly doubt AIM Today gave you a virus . Someone probably clicked ona link in someones profile/away message that links to a trojan.


Any AOL sponsored websites will be virus free.
