    Grow a pair and remove it.
    Only in Britain….do we use the word “politics” to describe the process of Government. “Poli” in Latin meaning “many” and “tics” meaning “bloodsucking
    creatures”

    Tell her to stick to the washing machine, dishwasher and hoover - the computers are the man's job.

    Just tell her that the aohell software collects all her personal info and sends it to everyone she doesn't like

    It's HER computer so why give a fuck? Just point out that you will not have anything to do with putting it right if it fucks up.. . . .sorted!Oh, and grow a pair!
    If at first you don't succeed.....redefine success. . . .

    One thing you could say is 'Even third world countries are too proud to use AOL'.

    Looks like I'm going to have to grow a pair then as when the boss next's logs on and finds her AOL mail missing (have explained she can access it through chrome only about 4 times today) she's undoubtedly only going to want to tear my bollox off anyway. lol do like going down the route of 'Even third world countries are too proud to use AOL' Its been an arsehole trying to clear all of AOL Software out though, thought Id done it all and on reboot its still nagging me am I sure ffs....

    Thanx anyway chaps

    Er, show her this thread.

    Make the default boot device a floppy drive so you get "BOOTMGR is missing, Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart" Then -
    "That's AOL that is!"
    Format and FORCE her to go the Google Chrome/Outlook route.

    AOL Spy's on you, watches everything you do and then uses targeted marketing to flog you stuff. It also limits what you can and cannot see (internet filtering).

    Just out of curiosity, why are you needing 'convince her'? When I first met my new missus, she had all that crap everywhere.
    I didn't even ask, it went within a week and she's never looked back.

    I honestly thought AOL was a thing of the past, they did merge with Time Warner didn't they?
    The last I heard from this company was 2 years ago when I removed it from a customers PC after they had trouble logging into it.

    If its her laptop and she wants it on there, why don't you just leave it on there, sounds like she deserves to have that crap on there if she doesn't know any better.
