Does aim have any spyware/viruses in it?

I really want it - but I just want to be safe before I download it. Last computer melted from a polar worm, some other kind of worm, and over 200 trojans... just don't want it to happen again.

it doesn't have malware IN it but you can get a lot FROM it. Just use a good antivirus and some antispywares. Use Kaspersky, Avira, Nod32, Bitdefender, or AVG. Norton is ok iff you have the space for it. And use Spy sweeper, superantispyware, and spybot. You'll be just fine with these

AIM is like a torrent of spyware and viruses. If you want to download it, you must first protect your computer. You need McAffee antivirus to protect you against viruses and Webroot Spysweeper to protect your from Spyware. Spysweeper will also stop AIM from installing BHOs (Browser Helper Objects) and other unwanted peripherals, because it tries constantly.

These two things should keep your computer safe. But it's not 100% bulletproof, so be warned.
