As Free AOL
I have tried to set my account to be Ad-Free, I have signed up and assume I will be billed for this, but Ads from Oath still appear that cover the top half of my screen and I cannot delete or remove them.> BAD STUFF. Here are the details:

Ad-Free Mail for AOL Desktop Gold is a member benefit that, when activated, removes paid ads from your mail experience in Desktop Gold. Paid ads promote products and services that aren’t related to AOL.
When activated, you’ll no longer see paid ads in your mailbox, address book, open email messages you’re reading, sent email confirmations, Download Manager, or download confirmations. You’ll continue to see promotions for AOL products and brands, which aren’t paid advertisements. These keep you up to date on our latest product news.

either stop all ads which cover content, or discontinue selling a fraudulent product, call "ad blocker". I got suckered into a subscription @ 4.99 per month ($60.00 per year) and it does nothing!!
