    Hi Barry,

    Try going to Start>Find>Files and Folders

    Search C drive for aol and delete them. Just make sure its not associated with a program you need before you delete.

    Click on Start>Run. Type msconfig in the box and click ok. When msconfig opens click on the startup tab. This is a list of all the programs that start when you start your computer. Look for Aol and click to uncheck it. Ok your way out. Restart your computer.

    Aol in a few cases is started from the Task Scheduler [Mstask.Exe]. If there, disable it there. If you do not have anything scheduled to be run automatically at a certain time and date, go to Advanced\Stop Using Task Scheduler
