No, it's best to sign off of the internet and avoid your computer from here on out.

Instant message system in which two people can type to each other in real time. It is from Aol. I sure as hell hope I wouldn't lose mine in a few days. I have not got this message yet.

The message means that America Online will not support the previous version you have been using after a certain date. The America Online Instant Messenger software is known to have spyware and malware.

Thats not good, but I think as long as you scan the computer for viruses and malware you can tell if you have it and reboot your system or get a antivirus.

trillion logs in with the AIM server

What Dive is trying to say is that Trillion allows you to log to all the IM programs. So if you have accounts with AIM, Yahoo, etc then they are going to show via Trillion. Maybe you can adjust things in settings??

I thought AIM was a toothpaste.

I think i have given up maybe i should call a psychic. Never had this problem until recently i used to use an older version of trillian 3.0 or 3.1. I've used the new version of aim 7.0 or whatever i finally got trillian astra to work that boots me the new version of aim boots me and a friend suggested digsby i tried that and get booted on there too. Only thing that seems to work fine is yahoo. I don't know if it's my internet or just something that has to do with aim itself. The servers can't be that bad just seems like anything connected with having to load an aim buddy list isn't working.
