AOL? Hmm... I was going to recommend
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=330904, but I'm told that AOL decided to go
their usual route, and use a completely non-standard protocol stack, thus
disabling Microsoft's "Internet Connection Firewall".

You need to get onto AOL about this issue. AOL could stop this by allowing
you to filter incoming data - maybe you should ask them why they don't?
