AOL horror stories
I had installed aol on my system so a visiting friend could use her account.
When she left I uninstalled aol re-booted and it fragged my system, I couldn't even access anything to back-up current data total loss had to completly low-level formatt and re-install.  |

AOL...don't even get me started. I don't know how it could completely render a computer unbootable but I know that it spreads through your system like a virus. Even if u uninstall it successfully, it leaves behind its customizations of IE, Outlook Express and other things. It puts links to its website everywhere and messes up ur connection to the internet. If I was going to do someone a favor like that, I would make a restore point before installing it. That way, whatever it does to your system, you can always go back.
