Re: How to Unintsall AOL

AOL's code is so tightly woven into the windows code that only a
complete format and clean OS install will remove it.

The same goes for Norton.

Good luck.

I believe, unfortunately, the AOL software embeds itself so deeply in the

Hi:

Does anyone know of a simple way to completely uninstall versions of AOL
when the Add/Remove Programs does not work? (Says it cannot find the
installed versions, which are installed.)

I sure would appreciate any recommendations.
