AOL tries to log on

Hi all….

I noticed while surfing through another topic that a user was having the same problem as I am…. AOL popping up and continually trying to log me onto the internet. I use AOL as a backup when something’s amiss with my regular ISP, and just recently, AOL tries to elbow my regular connection out of the way and take over. It doesn’t succeed, of course, because I click the appropriate boxes to stop it, but it slows down my connection considerably while it’s happening, and is not only a pest, but worrisome.

I’ve searched AOL for answers to no avail. Would anyone have the slightest clue as to why this might be happening, and how to prevent it?

Thanks!
