Stop the virus links which are appearing under the news articles. There is one today under the story about the diver finding the skeletons.
stop the virus links appearing under the news stories. There is another one today under the story about the diver finding skeletons in the river. It is the one on the left with the photo of the plastic surgery gone wrong on the female celebrity. If you click on it, it says your computer has a virus, and you must send in (ransom) or they will run up a bill.

It seems that often when aol comes up with a "new" plan/idea like two years ago when you rearranged MY favorites, they were forever messed up and I was unable to use them as I had previously. This time you altered MY emails and I needed tech support to be able to use the mail. PLEASE STOP tinkering with my personal computer items. It is unwanted and upsetting

Enlarging a page
When I try to enlarge a website by using the square box next to the red X, there's a pop-up showing a multiple split screen overlay. Please omit the split screen feature. All I want to do is enlarge the page like before.
This is a result of the windows magnifying functionality.

End aol software manually
A way to end the aol software manually is to use the windows task manager by either pressing ctrl, shift and esc or going to the start button and typing taskmgr.
When the task manager appears, on the applications tab, you can end the aol software by clicking on end task or go to the processes tab, click on the aoldesktop.exe, right click, and left click on end process, and click on yes to confirm.
Two reasons for doing this.
1) If the software just isn't playing nice with you and freezes
or
2) If the software takes over 3… -
IS AOL Gold not fully functional?
IS AOL Gold not fully functional? I am unable to save my email folders and messages to my computer hard drive. When I click on save to my PC I get a pop up to "save folder as" but nothing appears in which to name the file folder. I have contacted AOL tech assistance via phone but no practical resolution has been available. This important function needs to be updated as soon as possible.

Change it back
Not a suggestion just a complaint. I have been a member of AOL for a long time. Luck of the draw that makes me a senior. I don't claim to be a geek or even average at computers. The "new" AOL , to me , is a mess. Now I don't expect my opinion to affect anything, but frustration prompted me to write this. I will try to find a way around your new format, and we'll see if I stay a member. Hello Steve Case!!

***********
There is nothing new about stupid. It has been around since the beginning of time. However, AOL has brought it to a new level because you are not only stupid, you try to pretend you are smart by using lies. YOU ****** and you hate America. We get it....

Aol Gold diapered on all of our computers
We have AOL gold or should I say we had AOL gold it is no longer on our computers 4 of them. AOL has no trouble with taking out my payment for something I have to go onto Google just to get into my account and I can not get in to cancel my account. If I am going to have to use Google to check my mail I may as well have a free account.
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 team is available 24/7 by phone.

AOL owned by Verizon forces me to stop using AOL, a member since the 80's. I used AOL to provide safe browsing, now everything I write, incl
Go back to providing a safe browser that does not intrude upon my privacy. Verizon now wants me to pay for a service that looks at everything, including my emails, all to sell info to others. I don't want a Big Brother, I don't want everything looked at, and I sure won't pay extra for it. And the final insult? Making it impossible to quit AOL. Luckily, an easy fix, had my bank stop authorization. Try it, you will prefer it to having some AOL person demanding to know why you want to quit, then refusing to drop my account.…

Desktop shortcuts
GEEZ LOUISE! Yet ANOTHER unrequested, unwanted, shortcut placed on my desktop today. If I left all of the shortcuts your worse-than-garbage program put on my computer, I wouldn't have room for the shortcuts I WANT on my desktop. One link to your garbage program on my desktop is enough.
Your GOLD program is SO VERY INFERIOR to the previous version, that I have given up and my 25 year membership with AOL ends this week.
So long, ****.

Start covering Venezuala and how Socialism is working for them.
You need to start covering the real news. How about Venezuela and how socialism is working for their nation. Maybe you can prevent this from happening to America.by doing real reporting. AOL is more like a national tabloid of Hollywood rather than a real news organization.
Oh and try supporting the President. -
