That is me finished for good with AOL. I just had a warning from the Resident Shield on my AVG Virus scanner, saying a Trojan (Trojan horse Agent2.ceg) had been found on my computer. It had infected a file on AdAware, and AVG had shunted it to the virus vault. The Trojan had come in on the back of an unsolicited download from AOL called Triton_uk_2.2.25.1\setup.exe. As I said I have not asked for this b****y download at all.
My apologies for anyone who got plagued by my emails from Bebo.com as well. AOL shunted its user profiles over to Bebo in January, and I cannot cope with yet another social networking site. My account with Bebo will be closed down today. I have quite enough to keep up with on Blogger, Facebook and Twitter.
The only thing I use AOL for is my AOL mail, and I access that from the Web, not through AOL software. My next computer will have NO instant messaging software. Well, except on Facebook, which is bad enough, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I wondered what started that Bebo thing. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI had something similar today from a link sent to me on face book, I just have e-mails transfered from Aol I don't use the site at all now. There are plenty of Internet providers offering good deals.

I stopped using AOL as an ISP a year ago. I minimised using their services since the abolition of AOL journals. I will now only use the email service, relayed to Gmail.
ReplyDeleteI resist all lures to get me to download AOL in any form since one mess, and I am glad to hear you are no longer associated with bebo as I did not want to turn you down but did not know what to make of this. After kicking everyone out they are desperate for someone to participate. I cannot feel sorry for them. I transferred all my mail addresses also. I thought gee, I am sure Guido said he was closing down his parmolo/aol account, so that is a bummer, them sending this out.
