No need call anyone an idiot. Simple thing to do. Is send it back
to microsoft for a refund. Tell them you can't use on your system.
They will refund your money if it been less the 30 days. You will
have to wait a while on your refund check.
MS don't do refunds for stupidity....
I do recommend changing isp. Aol blocks a lot of email that is not
spam. I use familyonline. It $13.95 an month (Except for one place
in Illinois to do higher phone cost). You get an optional program
called fastlane, plus you get up to 5 free emails. You can check it
on the web or using a email program. No contact. You can pay cash
at a family video store or you can use a credit or debit card and have
it withdrawn automatically. No newsgroups. You can still you news
server like news.microsoft.com and others. They have not blocked
port 119-yet. I hope they never do.

WTF are you recommending I change my ISP?! You know nothing about my ISP!
Why would I change from an ISP I'm perfectly happy with to one that installs
a virus on my system?! Why would I want viruses on my computer? That's what
AOHELL is, you know, a *VIRUS* - or, more accurately, a Trojan.
Or were you responding to the OP? If that's the case, I suggest you learn how
to post....
A Trojan: -
Masquerades as a benign application. Just like AOHELL
One type claims to rid your system of viruses, but instead lets them in. Just
like AOHELL. Don't be fooled by AOHELL's AVP and firewall - they're useless.
Is nigh on impossible to remove without reformatting. Just like AOHELL (in
fact, most Trojans are easier to remove than AOHELL).
You may be happy using AOHELL's trojanic software. I, OTOH, value my computer
(why would I want to deliberately infect something I paid £2,500 for?!)
