AIM spawning ads?

Proving myself once again to be the patron saint of weird computer issues.

Occasional, AIM - I use the “classic” version - starts endlessly spawning IE pop-up ads. Literally endlessly, one after another until I forcibly shut down AIM. It’s not a random happening; something triggers it, but I can’t seem to purposely duplicate it.

Anyway. Any thoughts?

Are you honestly surprised

Try uninstalling/reinstalling
