Yeah, I tried the total uninstall thing. It went away. Hmmmm, and AOL says it’s not from them? F**king LIARS!!!! This is the AOL way. A fine example of their ethics. Yes, my girlfriend decided to have me install the AIM again, and indeed it came back. Of course, I decided to finally and once and for all UNINSTALL it. This example of AOL lying really should not surprise anyone. Besides, this is the same company that is about to allow SPAMMERS to access your email account by paying a fee. Here’s a clip: “AOL recently announced what amounts to an “email tax.” Under this pay-to-send system, large emailers willing to pay an “email tax” can bypass spam filters and get guaranteed access to people’s inboxes—with their messages having a preferential high-priority designation..”
Pretty disgusting huh?
I’d like to challenge that AOL rep to answer that one. Really, there would be no point, because an AOL reflects the practice of their employer, which is DISHONESTY and GREED.Sounds great….BUT….I’m not a “TRITON BETA TESTER”. I have nothing on my harddrive about Triton. They said “active update”, but that doesn’t mean that it’s referring to the particular active update that we’re experiencing. I think I’ll uninstall everything having to do with AOL altogether. Spooky article though. AIM is all about spying on their customers. So you may just wanna stick with SKYPE for your pc-to-pc or pc-to-phone calls (skype.com)
I also found that running in the task manager was another aol process called “aolsoftware.exe” It didn’t used to be there. ..and so far since I’ve ended that process, I haven’t received the update window. But that process returns at startup. I checked my startup options and that one sure isn’t in there. I’ll keep looking. Anyone else have that “aolsoftware.exe” process?
Sorry for being pesty, but I also noticed that even when I’m not connected to the internet, the update still pops up. Kinda weird….During the day, it wasn’t coming up as much as it does at night. Weird. We’ll corner this thing.
Just click on the image I included in the previous post to enlarge it… This window just keeps popping up. I’d rather do without any AOL crap altogether, but my girlfriend just demands that she have her AIM. You think if I uninstalled AIM, these messages would go away? AOL doesn’t make it that easy, I know. PLEASE investigate somebody. I’m not a techie kinda person, so all I can really do is just start trying the restore points.
I came here to ask the same question. At the bottom of the update window, it says “Update 3869.9.20”
I’ll keep checking other forums about it. I googled the update and all I got was this forum as the only hit. Maybe I’ll play with the search phrases.
But I agree, in the meantime, DON’T INSTALL. HOnestly, even if it was from AOL, I still wouldn’t install that trash. AOL is very sneaky and always sells you out for spyware. Anyway, any insight to this would be greatly appreciated.
