    Did the Aim installer have a Custom installer? If so, uninstall AIM, cross your fingers that it also uninstalls the other crapware it installed ( :) ), then re-install with custom mode. Then uncheck anything you do not wish to have.

    Now, if this is Aim Triton, then download and install this (Aim Triton Ad Hack 5.0 Beta 20)

    Everytime a new AIM comes out, it's loaded with more BULLCRAP than the last one.

    www.oldversion.com

    /\ Is perfect for getting an older, better version of AIM. I'm also pretty sure it doesn't include any crappy extra stuff, just the critical program files. Not positive on that, but I haven't noticed any random crap from the "old version" that I got.
