AOL GOLD CREATED NON-PAYMENT VIRUS
AN AOL GOLD SENT VIRUS WILL LOCK UP YOUR COMPUTER FOR NON-PAYMENT
IF A CREDIT CARD PAYMENT TO AOL IS DECLINED, IN THIS CASE A $3.99 MONTHLY FEE, THE AOL GOLD PROGRAM UPON OPENING, WILL SEND A COMPUTER LOCK TO DISABLE ANY FURTHER MOVEMENT, ACTION OR NAVIGATION REQUIRING CUSTOMER TO Ctrl-Alt-Delete TO ESCAPE THE AOL COMPUTER LOCK. NOT ONLY IS THIS ACTION ILLEGAL BUT UNETHICAL. THIS ILLEGAL TACTIC FURTHER CONFIRMS AND DEFINES THE ONGOING UNIVERSE OF CORRUPTION IN WHICH AOL OPERATES. HOLDING A PAYING CUSTOMER'S COMPUTER PRISONER FOR NON-PAYMENT OF A MONTHLY CHARGE IS DESPICABLE BUSINESS PRACTICE AND CORRUPT CORPORATE…AOL Desktop Gold requires a subscription to use it. If you no longer have a current subscription the product will not allow you to sign on until you do have a current subscription. AOL will NEVER prevent or block anything on your computer. If you received a communication stating anything different, it is a scam. Please call 866-265-5070 and report it.

This awful softwear makes me sign in every time ON MY OWN COMPUTER plus pay a monthly fee.
Now it is asking me for my phone number and when i put it in, I am told you will not accept it. I am ready to scrap this and start with a good email service like gmail. old aol was MUCH better than this.
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.

The Gold version doesn't bring over old PFC's properly and your techs know it, Address this fast as an imperative!
Gold can not bring over old PFC's in an orderly fashion.. Everyone's hard work to have an organized PFC has been destroyed by it coming over in an alphabetized fashion. If it would have to come over AS IS and then perhaps, give the option for some to have the option to elect alphabetized, would be respectful and optimal. I estimate at least 40 hours will be required *** around around to try to get it back in a semblance of order, so we can use it properly. This need to be acknowledged, and an effective solution with an expected…

Can't send as many photos
Used to be able to send 6 or more. Now it does good to send 2 and then usually only as attachments instead of copy & paste like I used to - to incorporate descriptions with the photos. It will stall and say letter can't be sent, try again in 5 min. If you try to send it like 3 x it will eventually tell you its too large a file.

App Usage
I am very disappointed in your desk top Gold to say the least. Ever since I started with it years ago, my computer will periodically freeze up and I need to restart it – even with a brand new computer I truly have to restart my computer at least 12 – 15 times per day. I use this for work purposes and find that the storage on AOL gold is most inadequate and probably should be marketed to those only using it for family & friends - I run a business using it. I cannot get files I stored on…

Stop requesting an Adobe Flashplayer update
Whenever I go to Settings or Help there is an alert to update to the latest version of Flashplayer. The latest version is already installed on my computer, and is updated regularly. When are you going to put together a real Tech Support team that doesn't include idiot kids from India or Pakistan, who only know how to play games on their cell phones. AOL has really gone off the deep edge.

chat room issues
why did you put a "notify aol" button in chat rooms if no one is going to respond to them or do anything? So many evil nasty people saying hurtful things to others and when we try and send to you guys, it eithrr just never gets handled or it just loads and loads and loads and never sends. What's the point and when will the issue finally get taken care of in some form or another?

IF YOU CAN'T FIX THIS ****** PROGRAM THEN GET RID OF IT
I truly don't know how long we aol users are supposed to be putting up with this BS that you call a program but I'm **** sick and tired of getting upset every time I try to send email. Its either 'mail not sent because of an error' or 'wait 5 minutes and try again'... FIX THIS *. You have the nerve to charge us for a program that doesn't even work, doesn't perform to the low standards it was before this marvelous upgrade. * we'd be happy with the old version instead of this **** that doesn't work.…
