[edit] Popup ads

I wish there were a section talking about AOL's introduction of popup ads, the most infamous policy of its history next to refusing to cancel accounts.

[edit] Dead link

During several automated bot runs the following external link was found to be unavailable. Please check if the link is in fact down and fix or remove it in that case!

[edit] Password protection and spam

A friend has had his AOL account hacked, and it has been spamming me for nearly a year now. He says he can't change his password because he can't remember the credit card number he used years ago to join. I've heard AOL has its users addicted, and my friend may be one of those as he's sticking with AOL despite the spamming. I'll send him what the article has to say about Smathers, and hope some editor adds something to this article on how AOL handles passwords and hacking complaints. And maybe something on users being addicted to it.--Pawyilee (talk) 08:26, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

[edit] The Huffington Affect

When Conservative turned Liberal, Arianna Huffington took over AOL, we just about left as founding subscribers, but need one key service only they provide. Now we see the affect she and her policies have had on her upper management team. "Disgruntled top talent deserts AOL", by David Gelles in New York.[1] . . . We should be watching. .!.

[edit] Viruses

Viruses and spamming is found all over this site. If just starting out using please get it McAfee checked so rhat it will be safe to use. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.91.97.202 (talk) 07:05, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
