Disable AIM Automatic Update -- try this:

I noticed while debugging some other issues that anotify.exe is launched just before the upgrade dialog box appears. I figured it cant hurt to try denying execute access to that application in hope that it would prevent the dialog from appearing in the future. Try this out and let me know if it works for you. I am still testing the solution and have not yet been nagged for an upgrade.

Change NTFS file permissions for anotify.exe (c:\program files\aim6\anotify.exe). This can be done by right clicking on the file and selecting properties and then the security tab. Find your Windows user name and click the checkbox to deny read/execute permission.

No adverse affects yet.
