Never had AOL(thank god by the sounds of it ) but have you tried going into control panel "administrative tools" and then "services" and then look for AOL? its in alphabetical order so it should be near the top? if so double click and then stop the service.

Also download this http://filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/ once downloaded, open it up, click on "registry" then click on "scan for issues" and delete whatever it finds, then reboot the pc and see if thats done anything

having aol is like having a constant dose of the clap ..

you think its gone ... and just when you least expect it ...

to be honest it's time to do some registery editing, only way you can shift it 100%..

its like norton in that way

only way i got rid on one pc was to reformat it .. got so bored trying to remove norton and aol
