AIM Security
Ok, everyone these days are using firewalls, anti-virus programs, Ip address changers, etc. for security purposes. One thing I don't see people securing alot is AIM. AIM is a great program that can be made into an awesome program just by using a couple addons (see Dead AIM). Well for security purposes you can use encryption tools for AIM. Anyone spying on your conversations with another encrypted user would look all messed up (ie: instead of "Hey, how's it going?" they may see "gSD^wH~|Xz%" or something like that). This is also good if you are doing file sharing using AIM. The only bad thing about using encryption tools on AIM is that nasty little lock logo by your name. But at least everyone will know you're secure. For a free AIM Encryption tool and install instructions check out the following link: AIMEncrypt
