This is one of those voodoo apps when working with small business networks that makes me shudder. Well, I got a call to go in and remove what turned out to be 7 downloader trojans and 1000+ spyware components on a windows me machine with AOL. Well just when I got it all removed, I loged on to aol to let it sit for a while and see if I get the popups spawned and guess what? It got to the step 4 authentication stage and did a little authenticating and kicked me off. So I reinstalled it…Installation had a bunch of kinks I worked out and got it to detect the modem. When I told it what area code I lived in, it went to go find my numbers for me. Well it couldnt find any numbers and went back to ask me what my area code was again like I didnt freakin know it in the first place!!!!
Does someone on here know aol that can point me in the right direction? I called tech support and was on the phone for 45 minutes before I just hung up.
I am an aol moron because…well its actually too user friendly for me and in my experience the damn thing is like a wrecking ball to operateing systems especially one as corruptable as Window ME. There must be 5000 or so registry entrys of aol and it just scripts the doodoo out of device manager, network adapter properties, and user profiles.
