You can still use your AIM screen name with Gaim. It's simply a different instant messaging client. It's the same with Trillian or Pidgin.

I think Pidgin is just a later release of GAIM... because of some lawsuits that AOL had with it (reading the story on wiki makes me detest AOL even more...)

Anyhow, did you try anything from jayloden? Norton and McAfee typically catch things involved with windows, and not different apps.
