That figures!!! its part of AOL are they your internet provider? obviously updating,will be tempory,usually happens after boot up,AOL are known system hogs

By:

|

By:
no never delete from processes,unless you know exactly what it is,your computer can shut down right away with the wrong process closed down

Yeah AOL are notorious,they take over your computer
this will unclog a few things http://www.ccleaner.com/ |

Derek do you use AOL to browse the internet ?
|
|
By:
yes
|
|
By:
You do know you don't have to, you can disable the AOL updater and use IE
AOL are only your service provider |
|
By:
yeah ive used internet explorer but my email address is @aol.com so its easier to just be on aol all the time , with ebay and stuff..
if i cancelled aol alltogether is there any way i could still get my emails or is this not possible ? |
|
By:
without changing my email add of course

It's not an issue mate, you don't have to cancel AOL
All you have to do is stop all the AOL updates and use IE You will still be able to log on to AOL for emails |

By:
If you're on a computer with less than 1GB of RAM and less than 2GHz of processor power you may encounter problems with AOL slowing down your computer and Web browsing.
Browsing the Web with an AOL desktop client will be slower than browsing with IE, or Firefox, or Safari for Windows, or Opera, no matter how powerful your computer is - in my experience, anyway. Your mileage may vary. |
