If you regularly use AOL(R) Instant Messenger(TM), it’s likely that you’ve at some point created a personal profile or used an away message. Some AIM users may have even found that often times they can get in trouble because of their away messages. Not in trouble with the law, necessarily, but social trouble. Friends, family, and significant others often check your away message because they are interested in waht you are doing, and you post that information in those profiles to let them know that. But besides those close to you, there are also people with more sinister intents. Some people use AIM(R) as a tool for harassment.

Plagued by the perpetual surveillance imposed on you by AIM(R)? Dissatisfied with your ability to thwart AIM(R) stalkers? Help is here! PCPete.net software is currently developing a web-based AIM(R) privacy management solution. With a few clicks of the mouse, a user can restrict access to their personal profile and away message to only authenticated users. Integrated logging and statistics are included, to make analysis of away message and profile access easy. Have you ever wanted to leave two different away messages for two different people? Now you can, and more.

PCPete.net software is currently seeking beta testers. If you are interested, get in contact with Pete. At this time, beta testing positions are open only to those that know Pete personally. A public beta will be coming soon!
