Ads replaced with ads.

Pros
This product does what it says it does in terms of removing "AIM" ads...
Cons
What the author doesn't tell you is that he replaces the AIM Ads with his own at the messenger start up screen. It's not necessarily spyware, but you're trading one type of ad for another.
Summary
Just what I wanted, a naked Buddy List!
M. SangesApril 10, 2007
Pros
Having read the one bad review, I was a little sketchy, but for me it works as it says: totally gets rid of the ad--space and all, making for a much cleaner looking Buddy List. <p> <p> <p>Installation couldn't have been easier aside from the minor inconvenience of closing out AIM to reopen it a second later. <p> <p> <p>It must be noted, however, that I'm using the last AIM version (oldversion.com :D) before the big Triton overhaul.
Cons
Nada.
Summary
Excellent

Pros
Great app, does exactly what advertised. Just be sure to use the 98 version of AIM. <p> <p>I have been using this app for years.
Cons
Nothing unless you like mindless ads (sometimes with audio) using your bandwidth.
Summary
Great

Pros
This program worked flawlessly. It removes the ad giving you more room for your buddy list.
Cons
When you sign on it has a Keithware logo instead of the AIM logo but nothing big.
Summary
It works.

Pros
It does exactly what it says it does: gets rid of any kind of ad in AIM. It's a small download, and gets the job done in under one minute.
Cons
None. That is, unless you like seeing the AIM yellow figure when you log in.
Summary
More than I bargained for

Pros
does what it says, removes the ads
Cons
it also screws up the rest of the display window. I couldn't resize it, couldn't access my buddy list to edit it and there is no way to remove the .dll file once installed unless you reinstall AOL.
Summary
Might've worked once...

Pros
I expect this may've been a good product for the earlier releases of AIM, but in the later versions- which are the only ones available to download off their site, and consequently, the ones most people use- it doesn't work at all. <p> <p>I would recommend Trillian [which you can downlaod here]. Its unpaid version is superb and doesn't have a single ad, ever. No extra baggage, either.
Cons
It made AIM crash every time I opened it. =( Maybe the newer versions of AIM have a script/block against the program or something, because it just made everything go haywire. -_-'
Summary
PERFECT

it did exactly what it said
Cons
Summary
Best one yet! Other one didn't work at all!
lizzysmommy2005March 24, 2006
Pros
I loved this one because it actually worked. I downloaded the AIM ad remover before this one and it didn't work on the version that I had. Went ahead and tried this one and lo and behold, BAM it's gone! Everyone else here said it asked for where AIM was, but on mine it found it automatically. Not sure what I did differently. Oh and another great thing..it completely removed the ad window, it's no longer there!
Cons
NOTHING!!
Summary
Works on all versions, best Ad Remover available on this site.
ghj018March 15, 2006
Pros
Not only does it stop the adds from comming tru but it also copleteley removes that section of the window so there is no wasted space. Similar programs have only managed to replace ads with a blank space. <p>Every time AIM would change ads you computer would also wake up from the screensaver or monitor off mode. This program also eliminates that problem.
Cons
No errors in the program but you will have to locate the folder titled "AIM" for it so it knows where your messenger is.
