How to check if user has Multiple AIM Screen names


Recommended Posts

I dont know if i posted this in the right spot.. but i was just wondering if there was some type of program or way of finding out if someone has made up a new AIM screen name? I know you can find people through an e-mail address but im not sure what e-mail they would have used... does anyone know or can anyone help me?

not possible. e-mail search is your only option.

you could get the person to directly connect to you on both of the suspected screen names and do a netstat -n in command prompt, and see if the ip address are the same...

other than that, not possible.

No, that won't work for him xdjoynerx. His problem is that he thinks someone has created a new screenname and not told him about it, and he wants to know. No there is absolutely no way for you to know this, period. Without somehow breaking into the AIM server, and searching for matching IP addresses logging on from different screennames.

[Edit] Actually, let me clarify. There is no technical way to do it. There's the obvious asking mutual friends and hoping they're not privy to the fact that this person is trying to avoid you.

sorry, i misinterpreted the post.

the only way to see if the person has other screen names you do not know about is to search by e-mail, and type in the address that they used when creating the screen name.

    • Keep in mind it was purchased by an advertising company. I use SearxNG.
    • I am using Waterfox Private Search now that I started using the Waterfox browser on my PC and Android. Both work great* search waterfox net with full stops in between. * I have an issue where making comments on articles on various websites is difficult with Waterfox on Android as it randomly adds spaces and doubles up on text.
    • I can't believe it was only two years since the last time MS raised their prices and now they think they can do it again so soon. Of course they needed to backtrack on this. I hope Nintendo is next.
    • I guess I gotta be even more specific then since I'm looking for an absolute confirmation.  The mini PC has never booted up or powered on by me. I'm assuming it'll be like buying a new PC from a store. Nothing is set up. Like absolutely nothing on the mini PC because I can't emphasize this enough. My USB drive already has Windows set up on it from my other desktop so I know it's clean. So now I connect it to the mini PC before it's even booted up or go to the desktop. I then turn on the mini PC and boot into the USB drive. I should see an existing partition. I'll delete it and then install Windows again over the entire drive. I don't necessarily want to create a separate partition. Once it installs and boots to the desktop, I'm assuming the drive is "clean" and free of any malware/viruses. Basically, this process will eliminate any potential for malware/viruses to still somehow hide in the SSD and then potentially affect me later.  I'm being very anal about this because I really don't trust anything bought from AliExpress, but the price was very tempting.  Is Windows Defender reliable? Afterwards, if I do a full scan and it doesn't find anything in the SSD and the USB drive, can I be confident the mini PC is now safe and secured to enter my banking credentials? If not, what else can I do to be absolutely certain?
