Gaim is freeware and open source. And it's great.
I've been using it for over a year -- maybe closer to two? -- and I love it. I hate using AIM when I'm on someone else's machine.

See, ketchupqueen, I told you. Join the bandwagon, download an open-source spyware-free AIM client.

that is AIM without the adds. It is a program that pulls out all the adds and spyware...and just installs the AIM program.

While I use gaim for IM. I prefer irssi for IRC. (Then I can truely idle without ever leaving. Unless power strangely goes out at the datacenter )

One thing that I dislike about Trillian is that it seems to ignore my IM block list. I have two people on there, one because she's a complete {bleep} and the other because she's obnoxious when I'm at work. If I'm using Trillian, they can get through to me. (and I leave it set for anyone can see me because of Hatrack, so there! LOL)

well which ever client you choose, i hope to talk to you, also if you do end up getting aim, don't install weather bug, that is spyware for sure, and slows your computer down an insane amount.

Spybot S&D is the other adware program I use in conjunction with AdAware. (linky takes you to Download.com's page on this program)
