    Trying to sign in on my laptop says "This Connection is Untrusted - You asked to connect securely to api.login.aol.com. but we can't confirm that the connection is secure due to a problem with the websites security certificate (Cert Date Invalid) Such problems may indicate an attempt to steal your information.

    What now???

  7. Uninstalling OLD AOL 9.8

    I have been using the new AOL Gold for years.
    I hadn't uninstalled the old AOL 9.8.
    I can find old aol directories and files going back earlier than 2019.
    also 2018 & 2017 files & directories named C_AOL Desktop 9.8.2 & 2a
    I ran the old uninstaller program and though it took a very long time, it showed an EMPTY "Select Applications to Uninstall"

    There was never an explanation of HOW to remove all the junk that the old AOL 9.8 has now become. When & How will you address this issue?

  8. Multi McAfee Renew Messages

    Tired of getting renewal messages for my benefit subscription for McAfee. Tried to reinstall McAfee on my phones and was told an email was sent to continue the process, but non ever arrives.AOL needs to clean up its act. Last time I had the VIP help line "fix" the problem of renewal - guess what it is happening again.

  13. Red number on aol desktop gold email

    I have noticed that when I'm on aol desktop gold on my desktop which has amd hardware, the red number by the read icon goes down as I'm going through my email and yet on my laptop, which has intel hardware, the red number by the read icon doesn't always go down as I'm going through my email.

    Looks like a bug in the aol desktop gold software.

  18. Desktop Pictures Out Of Sync With Captions

    When you open AOL Gold, the pictures (1-55 for 3/28) are continually out of sync with the picture description. This happens every single day! e.g. The picture for picture number 35 has the description from picture number 34. That description from picture 34 stays on Picture 35 for 8 seconds and the correct description for picture 35 appears. I thought Verizon was going to fix the mess at AOL?????

  20. The system keeps shutting down automatically after 3 or 4 minutes of use...extremely frustrating !

    Have AOL Gold remain in use once Logged In...this is a novel idea ?
