    AOL Desktop Gold automatically spell checks your spelling as you write an email. When a spelling error is detected, the word is highlighted by a red line under it. To correct the spelling error, right-click the word and select one of the options provided.

    Regarding the freezing and restarting issues, I’d like to have one of our Technical Support agents investigate this. Please call our AOL Desktop Gold team at 1-888-265-3733. Our experts are available 24/7 by phone.

  3. AOL Desktop Gold invalid digital signature

    Get your software and updates VALID digital signatures. Norton Security gave me a Firewall Alert a few minutes ago saying, "Aol Desktop Gold does not have a valid digital signature," meaning, the software itself could be invalid! That's not good! Mark your software--INCLUDING UPDATES--with valid digital signatures!! The "fix" is easy enough on MY end...just tell Norton Security to "allow it always." BUT THAT SHOULDN'T BE NECESSARY--THE SOFTWARE SHOULD HAVE A VALID DIGITAL SIGNATURE! That would keep Norton Security happy, and prevent unnecessary Alerts. Thank you.

  6. AOL appears to be interfering with basic functions of my laptop !

    Why is it that, all of a sudden, my "Print Screen" function will not work at all if I have AOL running? Extremely annoying! It works just fine if AOL is shut down, so it must be something to do with AOL.....

  9. My account locked up with a voice and someone trying to save an exe file to my computer.

    On 2018-06-27 at about 1:15 Eastern I was creating an email when a voice told me not to close my account, that my account was dangerously compromised. At the same time a save window came up with an exe file. I could not x it out. I could not cancel it. Everything else was unavailable. This had happened one other time. I immediately did a hard shut down and came back up and ran C Cleaner and Malwarebytes. This is disturbing that they can get through your controls so easily so lock up my computer. I thought you would want…

  10. AOL Virus Protection and other "services"

    One of the AOL technical "experts" assured me that the virus protection and programs for stopping worms, etc., are perfectly reliable and WOULD NOT INTERFERE WITH MY PREFERED VIRUS PROTECTION, TREND MICRO. So when my hard drive crashed I took it to Geek Squad and was told the AOL product was the culprit and to get it off immediately. After $300 and a new hard drive I would suggest you make sure your technical people know what they are talking about.

    Just happened to be looking around and I find a whole list of things in my spam folder which weren't there earlier. They SHOULD have been in a saved mail folder. What the **** are you people doing? AOL keeps going further and further down the tubes.

  15. What's the point in removing features for paying customers?

    Still not having received photos and messages sent from not only my own phone but those of family members from nearly a month ago, I decided to message my phone from my aol mail yesterday. I got the message but my phone informed me that "this user does not support replies" so, for years as a free member I was able to receive messages from my family to my aol mail, but now that I am a paying member again I can't?
