The biggest problem with AOL!!!

Spyware, Adware, it's ridiculous!

A friend had such a problem with pop-ups on AOL - she just stopped using her computer.

It's a travesty!

Good luck...

youre friend must be challenged.....there a simple little button you push that says no pop ups

I havent had a pop up in months

fwiw - stay off of DRUDGE - its a hole of nasties

Buy a decent antivirus program / suite and a decent adware (I run 2 myself) - run them once a week and you should be fine

Ive been with aol since v1.0 - I had Prodigy before that

Now, is aol buggy sometimes - yeah - mostly on the new releases....so wait a few months before loading it

Plus the email settings are great - 2-3 spam mails a week in my mailbox- no big deal
