AOL Instant Messenger Functionality

[FelixLore 0]

Hi, I've done some googling and haven't been able to turn anything up on this yet and didn't really know where else to go for information about this. I regularly use this messenger for some of my contacts and suddenly, completely out of the blue, I've been bombarded with notifications from Nod32 that a web address prompted by AIM has been blocked. The address in question is: api.aim.net and it's been blocked by the Anti-Phishing Blacklist. The IP address listed is somewhat variable. This is exceedingly irritating and I can't figure out if this is a false flag, or something to actually be concerned about. I need this program for certain contacts, and would appreciate any information you might have on this issue.

 

Thank you,

Felix
