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 CONDUCT.
THESE PEOPLE SHOULD BE SUMMARILY FIRED IF NOT PROSECUTED: Tim Armstrong,…
If your payment was declined, you’ll get a pop-up saying that you need to update the payment, but it’s only blocking AOL Desktop Gold, not the entire computer. You can click on “I’ll do it later” which will close the screen.

I tried your offer to download AOL Desktop Gold for another computer when I did the question was do you want to cancel the AOL I have?
Why do you offer: Download AOL Desktop Gold for another computer. I tried and your question was: You already have AOL, down you want to replace it? I have two PCs and I thought the offer was for the second PC?
Please log in at mybenefits.aol.com or myaccount.aol.com on the other PC, and download AOL Desktop Gold.

When Gold is open the entire computer is slowed down.
When Gold is open the ENTIRE COMPUTER is slowed down. AOL Thinks I am saying The Desktop is slow, NO. It slows down other programs. When I get to work and turn on my computer, if I do not open Gold Desktop, everything opens quickly and with no problem, Word, Excel open in seconds. Once I open Gold Desktop everything is slowed down very very very much. It takes Word over 30 seconds to open if not more. The same with other programs. Firefox opens and then hangs just to open the basic page.
Why is this happening? All…I would like to have an expert technician assist you in this matter. Please call us at 1-888-265-3733.

Tony/Engineering:
I followed your instructions below and and did keyword upgrade and it put a program on my desktop. After clicking that icon to open, I received an ERROR MESSAGE that it did not work. What it did was DELETE AOL GOLD from my computer 100%. Now when I click on the icon for the AOL GOLD....it does not connect. I had to uninstall the program and went to install AOL GOLD from the Internet and it says I am not illegible for it. WTH is going on?I am able to access my AOL email from Google Chrome.

AOL Auto downloads cost me $200 for computer techs & dead internet. Everyone must read this....
12/27/18: After your last download, and as with prior downloads, for a while I had 3 orange AOL logos in my bottom task bar to launch on with. What I didn't know is that each one was for a different AOL Gold program which were causing conflicts. 3 weeks ago my internet kept going dead after several hours and the only way to get back online was to restart the computer. This happened over and over right after your last download every few hours. Had 2 computer techs here costing almost $200 who confirmed nothing was wrong with my …

AOL needs to stop pushing software on its customers. One just ruined my computer hard drive.
Years ago I had purchased Systems Mechanic, discovered it didn't live up to its performance and I canceled it. Then last year, AOL representative pushed hard for me to buy the new version, saying it would really help me keep my computer running well. Yesterday I had done a memory defrag that recommended several passes. Then right after I noted suddenly I could no longer transfer files from my C drive for a weekly back up session. I have a contract with HP Smartfriend and the tech support did an excellent job in trying to get my file transfer…

Transfer saved email
In AOL Desktop Gold, there is no way to transfer email saved on my PC to another computer. Even right clicking a piece of mail or folder and clicking "move" does nothing. We need this functionality.
The options to import and export the personal filling cabinet, in AOL Desktop Gold, are now available. You can use these two options in case you need to transfer your personal filing cabinet (Saved on My PC) from one computer to another, as well as creating a back-up (using export).
For more information about using these new features, please check the following article: https://help.aol.com/articles/aol-desktop-importing-your-personal-information

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…
