re AOL Broadband: I had AOL 8.00, no problems, except that to log on to various sites I had to minimise and use Internet Explorer, again no problems, just a few pop-ups. HOWEVER, AOL then offered their customers free download of McAfee Firewall, which is a really marvellous programme. Then I upgraded to AOL 9.00, and despite many conversations on line with Chat Agents, I was having a lot of trouble with the McAfee program interfering with the AOL 9.00! I also purchased Spam Filters and Pop-up Filters for use when I was on Internet Explorer, because I managed to acquire some horrid pop-ups which wouldn't go away whatever I did, short of unplugging.
End result, the whole system kept hanging. So I had to uninstal the Spam Filter and Pop-up Filter, and now I use AOL 8.00 again. Anyone else had such problems? I have plenty of memory/cache available.
