SOLUTION IS: Run notepad as an administrator....it'll let you save it NO PROBLEM that way

When the window pops up and the code isn't digitally signed, and it's an executable that i'm going to have lots of conversations on and will be constantly running in the background.....that's automatically not trustworthy. You are editing the installer, the executable, and i have no idea what else. With this little fix posted here, i know exactly what is being changed...and it's a program that AOL published first hand.

I don't know about others on this forum, but I have yet to have a virus on my computer and it's because i'm cautious about what i download and install...unsigned programs are scary enough, one with internet access that has conversations constantly being sent...even scarier.

But your work is appreciated by many all over the world, that i am sure of.

Jon8RFC, this is awesome! Is there any way to get rid of the ads in the buddy info viewer in version 6.5.9.1?

Works great. I am on 6.5.12.1, and this code worked great. Thanks

This solution still works in AIM 6.8.8.4

Note that the line <string name="bl.adMagic">0</string> is missing from strings.xml, but this does not seem to affect the solution.

Last row of buttons?

I used to use AIM adhack but recently had some virus/spyware issues on my computer (not b/c of that) so I'm being extra careful about not downloading any extra, unsigned stuff so this is great!

Anyone know what file/code you need to edit to remove the links at the bottom though? (AOL music, call center, games, etc)

I haven't done any customizing with AIM in at least a couple of years, but in the next couple of weeks I'll look into this and the other ad (mentioned in an earlier post) to see what I can come up with.

Thanks for all of the responses of gratitude

bump...

Added instructions on how to remove the profile ads, and it looks flawless However, it removes the tabs in the window...so if you're like me and don't use the profile tabs, I have the solution.

Can a mod sticky this thread? I'm not sure why I never stickied it in the past.
