Benefits and Limitations
While AIM provides its users with ultimate ability to chat with peers, send messages, files and dial up on their phones, there are a few limitations as well. Various malware and spyware are known to hack AIM due to its weak security properties. Softwares and programs trick users to open link of infectious websites under the disguise of a social networking message and harvest the ip address or send virus to the system. It can cause potential threat like installing virus on the system and stealing the user credentials. It is therefore important to maintain an updated and robust anti virus on the system using AIM in addition to a careful click on pop ups and unknown messages from AIM.
