    Tried to down load the new AOL but refused to work with AVG. So far the AVG program has worked very well. Is the AOL an improvement?

    Anything with AOL in it is a disaster, not an improvement ;)

    yup i agree my friends have aol and aol installs so much un needed crap its not even funny. and if u decide to get rid of aol you'll be finding stuff to delete for months afterwards, their anti spyware crap is just spyware in my opinion while it doesnt take your information well i dont think it does it still uses up vaulable space on in ur processes. id say uninstall everything aol gives you except for the core aol software and download ur spyware scanners somewhere else.
