As anyone with AOL will know occasionally when closing down AOL will state they have an update. On a recent update they (AOL) appear to have tinkered with the e mail page insofar that now when writing or reading an e mail you are subjected to an annoying advertising banner at the foot of the e mail page, flashing adverts etc - is there any way of deleting this advert space - any suggestions appreciated, and no, i'm stuck with AOL so moving to another provider is a no no !!:mad:

AOL is your ISP but that does not mean that you need to use their horrible software! Get rid of it and you won't suffer.:doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:0

As espresso says, no need for AOL's software. I've never installed any ISP's software on my pc."She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"

I dont have Aol on either because of all those pop ups.
Uninstall Aol then do the above, very easy to do and your computer will be so much quicker.0 -

Well that was interesting but why not just launch Internet Explorer and not the AOL browser? Then if you want to read/write emails type the AOL dot com into the address bar and access the pages from there. I often do that.0 -
