Not only that, but Wild Tangent also brings your computer to its knees. Two of the computers that I updated AIM on turned into nearly useless teergrubes (tarpits) until I got rid of Wild Tangent with Ad-Aware and Spybot.
If you want to update your AIM to version 5.5 you'd better install Ad-Aware and Spybot first so you can rip out the Wild Tangent component so your computer will be restored to usefulness.
I shudder to think of the day that AIM will insist that Wild Tangent be installed and it breaks after neutering of Wild Tangent. When that day arrives, AIM will no longer be a component of my computer.

| Adaware is a great program, but I also use spybotsd and pest patrol with it. Each has different 'rules' on what it will find. I found 34 items of wild tangent and pest patrol found 158 after installing AOL IM. You can download a crippled version of pest patrol. See what it finds.
Take care, keep a watch out for those pesty spywares.
