hi all,
users of AIM 5.5 have any of you noticed a new pop up ad that would appear every so often forAOL 5.0 or something like that then disappear after about 40 seconds. now this isnt as part of the buddy list it’s an actual ad the appears mid screen:mad:. Now I have ran spybot 1.3 and it isnt finding anything so I assume this is embedded in AIM. Has anyone else seen this and if so know how to stop it cos its a major pain in the butt.
thnx
im using the latest aim 5.5.3599 and no I havent goten this pop up ad I know im using both aimutation and otsego which do get rid of ads but you say its not a ad on the buddy list so im not sure but as for your question its a no I havent goten the add sorry cant help ya.
ive seen an ad for AOL, im not sure if its the one you are talking about, though. I think it is. its probablly not in AIM but it does come up because you downloaded AIM. I dont know how to get rid of it, ive scanned using mcafee and it didnt come up. just ignore it, it doesnt come up often
Its come up a few times tonight and its for the AOL survey and you can win money if you fill it in. its only popped up about 5 times in like 5 hours. it does vanish after a few and it can be closed without a window popping up. no biggie I guess, its probably only a temp thing.
