Couldn't agree more. They take over a machine. Lose it and just access AOL through their website. Took me three times to get it all off my daughter's machine.
I also just changed over to Mozilla Firefox as my browser, due to all the security issues with IE. Much faster after getting used to it.

If I lose AOL though and go to another ISP I have to pay for the one I go to and still pay for AOL. Its a vanity issue to a certain degree. My web address is Stripedbass@aol.com. It took me years of trying to score it. I think I may have solved some of the issue, which did relate to AOL. I had to load /uninstall 5 or 6 times. Eash time I uninstalled I left behind small aol programs which didn't uninstall. I did a search and deleted them one at a time and we are speedier here somewhat. I may have to grow up a little on this issue and venture forth. If I was using it for business at all I would have jettisoned AOL a long time ago. Thanks for the advice.

Make sure you download a registry cleaner (like CCCleaner) and run it several times to clean up the junk that all those AOL installs left behind.

Keeping an email just cause you think it's pretty is pretty silly if you ask me.

Get a real ISP.
