Publisher's Description

AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) should be used because e-mail just isn't fast enough sometimes. This convenient, add-on to your system lets you communicate one-on-one or in a group with family, friends, and business associates who also use it. Finding people online can be easy too. Use the Member Directory to locate friends by name or by e-mail address.

AIM Pro adds meeting functionality with technology from WebEx.

O' geez guys, let it go.we all get it ''free and opensource gaim/avast/avg etc etc..

i use all of those program and not this one but this is the best out of the aim series..unless youre working for avg, pdigin or avast, whats your deal really.showing off won't get you anything.you just look like a fool..

this isnt my choice of i.m but my nephew uses it and ive noticed it works much faster than the other aim programs by aol..

p.s what the deal with people scoring it based on its name...AMERICA ONLINE :)

you guys are so lame..review the software, not your emotions..

Worth a 4 but tweaked to offset some pitiful reviews without any reason.

AIM Pro is the only AIM client that I use and probably will ever use. Its lighter, faster and less obtrusive that most clients. It's easy to set up and configure, and it's GUI is still consistent and pleasant to look at. It still uses the tabs that Triton uses which in my opinion is superior to the tabbing in other clients as it is bigger and easier on the eyes to understand who is messaging you and who isn't. Top that off with no advertisements, and just one process running in the background and you've got a winner.

However I have to dock a point for the inconsistency of AOL's service as i've had multiple problems connecting in the past. I can't blame AIM Pro as much as AOL's servers but since both are interconnected; the program itself is useless without access to my online contacts. So lets hope they keep it more stable in the future.

Works as advertised. But hideously bloated.

I'm sticking to the Pidgin multi-protocol im client.

wow must admit, is pretty cool aol release this for people to used with their own domain name, the first bult had a few bugs, but the latest one seem to get rid of most bugs, you could also used your aol screen name with this or if you have a domain such as xxx@xxx.com , then you could used it here and be able to talk to any of your friends that uses aim or aol without having to sign up for a AOL or AIM account..

Love the idea....However, I cannot log in with my AOL screen name because it's trying to verify my RSA PASSCODE, which AIM Pro doesn't support.

So basically this is for people with *@whatever.com oh and my other AOL active screen name AIM Pro says it's suspended.

Recommend waiting on install until a stable build is released.

This particular build freezes as it tries to sign in - specifically in the 'starting' stage. I like what AOL is trying to do with this, but it's got to work.

I cannot figure out why it crashes every time I try and run it. I'm very computer-literate and solve new problems for people each week, but I can't figure this one out! How frustrating...

It’s a great program that just has what you want the only down side to it that I can see after a short time of playing with it is all the windows seam large and you cant shrink them down. If you are like me and hate the new AIM program that is out there this is for you with no ads.
