AOL came installed on my computer over 1 year ago. When
my subscription ran out, I switched to MSN. When I got
to Network Connections, AOL, MSN and a LAN connection
were there. I had not deleted AOL from my computer, I
was just not using it. I have since deleted everything I
could find concerning AOL, but I still get same result.
