Alternative To Aol's Aim?

[mojo2185]

I need an instant messenger that can communicate with AOLs AIM. I'd prefer not to install the one from them (AIM) because there's too much advertising, etc...
What can I get to replace it?

Thanks

Miranda IM.
It's what I've been using since I escaped the evil clutches of AOL.

miranda is great for school or other place you cant install stuff, you can also try trillian if you wish........

Internet.News uses Miranda IM, its a cut down version of about every Im software compact into one no installed needed program.

why dont you get Dead Aim? ;)

[mojo2185]

actually I was thinking about Dead Aim.
I really have no need for integrated additional clients (such as Yahoo / ICQ, etc...).

Now I just have to find me a version of it.

Dead Aim is good, I've tried it. Also, if you just want to get rid of adds and stuff, you could try the Aim Ad Hack. I think there's a version on suprnova.
