Put your computer on a diet by getting rid of all the AOL Software and using an Internet Browser to access your webmail or receive your AOL email through an email application such as Microsoft Outlook (part of the Microsoft Office Suite).
Why get rid of AOL Software?
- The spyware scan is not effective. See http://hthcatlanta.blogspot.com/2009/06/computer-running-slow-part-ii.html for advise of a better software solution.
- The virus scan is not effective. See http://hthcatlanta.blogspot.com/2009/06/computer-running-slow-part-ii.html for advise of a better software solution.
- The AOL Software slows your computer down. It takes resources away from your computer that you could use on other computer applications.
On the Windows Operating System, look for Add/Remove or Programs and Features and select AOL Software. Indicate that you wish to remove the software and you are done.
On an Apple Computer, go the Applications Folder and select the AOL Folder. Drag the folder to the trash can.
