"Premium" AOL Gold?
I received an email about downloading a "premium" AOL Gold. Why don't you fix all the glitches in the "regular" Gold, which we pay for every month? Why would I even try anything new? I don't trust new developments when we've been begging for the original Gold to be fixed?" Yesterday it took upwards of 90 seconds for one email to send. Why should that be acceptable?

When trying to access my spam control Im taken to a sign on screen
Obviously I'm already signed in otherwise I couldn't see any of my mail, spam included. Yet when I try to access the spam control via the link given I'm taken to a sign on screen. WTF? I'm already signed in, why am I being asked to sign in again? I don't think aol knows its elbow from its butt. So what's the excuse this time?

To truly improve my AOL Deaktop Gold experience, return to any previous version, This one stinks! Error messages are compounding.
Its bad enough to get an error 355 message repeatedly, but now I'm getting 'mail not sent because of an error'. No explanation how to fix it, what the error is, just an error. I'm waiting 3 to 5 minutes for that error to pop up, then I try again, wait again and there is the message again. The mail has not been sent. This version is getting worse instead of better. We have other things to do online than to wait 10 minutes to send one email. This is horrible. And you have the nerve to charge us for…

browser extensions
It would be a great security feature to add a link to review browser extensions like Firefox. It's become a way for bad guys to get into a computer.

AOL DataMask
After uninstalling and reinstalling Data Mask correctly the datamask box is showing the garbled letter but when we restart the computer, its not gonna show the garbled letters anymore.
Our engineers are aware of an issue preventing the anti-keylogging window from appearing when using both Data Mask and AOL Desktop Gold, and are currently working on a fix. Although the window does not appear, the anti-keylogging feature is still functioning in the background, so your keystrokes cannot be recorded by malware software.

How about you make it easier to recover your accounts after you buy a new computer with a new operating system and all your old software is not on it?

AOL Gold......I mean "OOPS"
After more than 600 revisions to this defective browser (since I got duped into signing up) it still crashes all of the time and won't open websites, even after I just had them open moments ago. They finally got the browser to open up and start without crashing, but almost daily I have to completely reboot my computer in an attempt to get this horrible thing to even attempt at working properly. I see they are now offering a "Pro" version of AOL Shield....hmmm. I wonder if that one will operate without crashing all of the time.....

AOL Browser problems
AOL Browser problems are enough to make a preacher's wife cuss, and I should know because I was one for 25 years! Talk about testing my patience!!! Here goes: 1) Once I click on the aol icon, it takes far too long to get even the first signin screen. 2)Once I enter my password, God only knows what response I'm going to get. So far - today alone - I have signed on, only to have a '118 error - timed out' screen pop up repeatedly. The only way I could close aol was by using the task manager. 3)…

AOL desktop gold software on AMD cpu
I have noticed that for some strange reason, the aol desktop gold software runs poorly on my desktop computer that has an AMD cpu.
Upon starting the software for the first time in the day, if any link is clinked, the software appears to freeze for a good 5 minutes before unfreezing itself.
Since this issue is only present on a computer running on an AMD cpu, a hotfix should be applied. My laptop has an intel cpu and the issue isn't present with intel.

Dangerous problem that continues to happen!
I am advising you of a SERIOUS problem that continues to happen. When I'm scrolling through the daily news articles, an article comes up that I'm interested in. I click to open it, and a message appears that "Your computer is infected with a virus and is locked! You must call Microsoft Support to resolve it!" And it gives an 800 number to call. If you call the number, a nefarious agent will start a remote session to take over your computer. However, it is not Microsoft! I've found that this only happens when the lower text of the…
