I was just using a great client "trillian" and i got this message.
"AOL Instant Messenger: You have been disconnected from the AOL Instant Message Service (SM) for accessing the AOL network using unauthorized software. You can download a FREE, fully featured, and authorized client, here https://www.aol.com/aim/download2.html ."
All I have to say is watch out for trillian and a new version.
