someone download aim on my computer when i wasnt around. and he didnt uncheck the toolbar and other pest that came with it. now i get annoying pop ups from aim.

how to get rid of it? do i have to uninstall aim?


edit: i uninstall aim and reinstall. now no aim pest bugging.

Have you tried to remove it via the control panel?

What a pain AIM is. I agree, remove the AOL bloatware.

Check out Trillian. It's a unified messaging client. Supports AIM, ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, etc all in one client.

www.meebo.com web based chat client with NO downloads at all. I've been using it for about a year. File transfer is a bit flaky, but I don't really file transfer much while using chat anyway... that's what FTP is for.

my Meebo consists of 2 (sometimes 3) AIM, 1 yahoo, 1 ICQ, 1 MSN. I've noticed that Facebook is also supported, though there are a few bugs with that, as well as MySpace, Google Talk, Jabber, Piczo and Flixster.

How rescourse heavy? I'm assuming since it's in Linux distro's it's not very.

Pidgin is fairly lightweight, I use it myself and like it plenty. Sits around 20mb ram usage usually...
