AIM Ad Hack may be run as a stand-alone program or as an add-on to an existing installation of AIM. When AIM Ad Hack is run, it downloads the AIM setup files if AIM is not already installed, and it prompts the user which components of AIM should be blocked or removed. It also provides the option of downloading plugins from AOL and various third-party plugins from AOL Greenhouse. If there is any
malware orspyware found on the computer from a previous installation of AIM, such asWeatherBug orWildTangent , AIM Ad Hack will remove it as well.External links
