A bunch of add-ons do this. Some free are middle_man and, although no longer supported, Aimutation. The only downside of using these free programs is that they are not compatible with the latest version of AIM. If that bothers you then you should check out Messenger:Mate which is compatible with 5.9.
Wait wait a minute? You think you have a problem because the ads arent showing anymore? I’d consider myself lucky if I were you!
Hmm. As far as I know the only way to do this would be through the add on Messenger:Mate and using the lock AIM feature before you leave.
Quote:Lock Messenger
prevent others from using a running instance of Messenger by locking it with a password. While Messenger is locked you will still be able to receive new Messages and alerts which will be displayed only when Messenger is unlocked.This is a very weird problem indeed. Try using a different screen name to send the stuff to him. Post the results.
Messenger:Mate allows tabs on the right or left side. If you get sick of using right or left, you can always use top or bottom 🙂 .
If I were you I’d use regular AIM over AIM with Dead AIM. Don’t get me wrong Dead AIM was a great program back in the day. However by using old versions of AIM you are exposing your self to a huge amount of exploits. Don’t believe me? Search google for AIM 5.5 exploits and AIM 5.2 exploits. Not to mention there is no one that will fix the problems Dead AIM has now that it is owned by AOL. Search for another alternative add-on. One that is compatible with AIM 5.9.
Edit- PS check this post out:

I downloaded it and spent the entire day yesterday playing with it, customizing it, converting and searching logs. GREAT add-on. Thanks for the suggestion!Glad you like the add on. Personally I don’t think anything out there compares. The developer is very dedicated and actually listens to what the people want. Not to mention there are constant updates 😀No problem.:)
And as far as your next problem goes, I think I know of a program that would do this for you. It is meant to convert logs from DA to Messenger:Mate. As you may or may not know, the guy who make M:M is the same guy who made AIMutation. And I think there is more than a good chance that this will convert your DA logs into AIMutation readable logs.
The problem doesn’t lie in the names, I think it lies in the different files that are made by these two different programs. For M:M, the native AOL rich text format is used for saving the conversations. On the other hand DA uses regular HTML. Hence the M:M log can’t read the DA logs. It may be the same case for the AIMutation log manager.
The reason I know all this is because I’m an M:M user and active in their forums. Thats how I knew that the AIMutation used Unix time stamps to name their logs. Since the AIMutation project is dead, I suggest you take a look at M:M. Its easily one of the best plug-ins out there.

I’ve only seen a couple of scripts that could check something on AIM. Me being a PHP programmer, or at least in the process of becoming one, it intrests me very much. Would you ever be willing to release the source code so some could learn ? 🙂
The new AIMutation website is http://www.versoworks.com/aimutation/

It’s most likely
1) A destructive installer that was being passed around before to trick people who wanted this software pirated.
2) A virus
3) An very early versionIn any case I can’t believe some people won’t pay 5$ for a year for something they are going to use everyday.
