*ahem* maybe you should search your computer for any other viruses than AIM viruses and maybe an older version of AIM will work from
www.oldversion.com then reinstall dead aim again and everything... some programs are better than mcafee...like spybot I think is better, but I forgot the site for it *sigh* someone should post it if they know it and maybe you have to live without DeadAIM... just kill it and then your AIM should work normally, or just switch to trillian (...ad less...cool trillian) but I dont think you want that...well try what I said tell us if it works, were gonna figure this out!!! dont worry...
