wooba.com - for your clicky finger

Ugh, I got so sick of getting AIM System Messages (mainly from my DSL cutting out, forcing me to get another IP) that I actually went out and Googled it trying to find a solution. And wowie, there are tons of other people just as annoyed by it as me. Trillian really should have a simple solution so that you can block system messages from ever reaching you, but I guess they won’t for whatever reason.

The solution seems to be to install Spam Challenge, a plugin for Trillian that does a little check to make sure it’s a human talking to you and not just a random spammer. AIM System Message can’t pass it and so now you won’t ever get their damn message (AOL System Msg: Your screen name (*****) is now signed into AOL Instant Messenger™ in 2 locations. Click (Link: http://www.aim.com/password/routing.adp)here for more information.) ever again. Below is a link to some Russian site with Spam Challenge 1.2, for all you people that don’t have a registered version of Trillian Pro, you can’t get the latest plugin at the Trillian site without a valid license.
