haha well there are little viruses that get passed around...where if someone sends u a message, and the first message is a link...DO NOT CLICK...it will pop up saying download to disk, or whatever...if you download it, you will sure as heck need to reformat your computer after not even just a week of that thing on your computer.

Everything seems ok, but the thing keeps reactivating when I open my email. And i have it set to not automatically log me in. :?

Sign off of it and on the log in thing you'll see this little save password and auto login button/tab thing.

my experince with aim was scareir than a pennie with crabs. (finally sea food u can afford but ou know your gona get sick) it opened a back door or something into my computer and i had to reformat in about 1 week. i prefer msn and yahoo but that just me. that i would also get norton works and spybot to go along with any IM service.
