What is aim.exe?

AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) is an instant messaging and presence program to allow registered users to communicate in real time. AOL and various other companies supply robots on AIM that can receive messages and send a response based on the bot's purpose. AOL Instant Messenger's installation process automatically installs an extra URI scheme handler into some web browsers, so URIs beginning "aim:" can open a new AIM window with specified parameters.
