Nah, probably not. I doubt any of them have got the brains to read b3ta so my secret will remain safe...

it kept "Auto scanning" (very slowly) for spy ware,

but never found any
then i'd run Adaware and SpyDoctor and they would
find tons of the shit on my system

so gawd knows what they are really up too....

but i did have unlimited downloads and the connection
was solid enough so i can't complain too much

do they still force people to use their crappy connection software?

I still use it

because I got it before I knew any better and am too lazy to change.
Their spyware thing actually seems to work now, it finds more than spybot does.
And the update thing Rik mentioned doesn't seem to happen any more.

I dropped em last year

after a month of no connection, during their helpdesk told me:

my phone line was knackered
my cables were knackered
i needed to reinstall AOL software (9 times)
and (this is the best one)
My processor was too noisy and was distorting the broadband signal...

I switched to Plusnet and never had a days problem. Its cheaper too

We had the same thing a few years back with AOL 7, back when my Mum lived with us, and her being the impatient Bitch that she is (I don't get on with her =P), she just decided to cancel it. We don't have much luck with teh interweb

temporary

It's a temporary wallpaper...I'm using my dad's computer cos mine's crap and won't hook up to...anything, which means Im stuck with paint. Anyway, his background is a picture of me, him and my sister. And it's not that I'm ashamed of them or anything, but I don't want you b3tards beating them up in the street =P
