I have AIM version 5.5. Whenever I IM my friend or she IMs me, her computer crashes. I do not know why this happens. I have tried downloading AIM version 5.9. When I IM anyone using version 5.9, AIM freezes and crashes. I have used various anti-spware, anti-adware, and anit-virus software. The problem still persists. Does anyone know how I can IM my friend without her computer crashing? If the problem is my outdated version of AIM, does anyone know how I can use AIM 5.9 without it freezing and crashing on my computer? Please help as soon as possible. I really need a solution.

I had this problem too, I never was able to fix it, even after uninstaling and removing every trace. You might want to get a universal chat client which will manage your AIM accounts, here are two.

I don't know if it will help, but read #2 at the bottom of the page under Spyware Symptoms...
