I keep getting a message when I close my computer that waol.exe is not responding. I do I remove this problem

Try this / Trojan remover

Hi y'all, Try reinstalling the AOL program.. WAOL.exe is actually the main AOL program, not to be confused with AOL.exe which is a System Tray icon for AOL. beansoup

Try reinstalling as suggested above. Probably just a glitch with AOL. But if it persists then your problem may be related to a trojan virus. The following is an extract from something I posted this morning: I don't use AOL but doubt that it would install to the C:\WINDOWS directory! The instance of waol.exe that is described above is a trojan virus. Use "Windows update" more regularly so you have the latest security patches. Go into Internet Explorer - Tools - Windows Update. Microsoft are constantly closing "buffer overrun" security holes. Norton should detect it but may not be able to remove it properly because the file is in use. The following Norton link describes how to remove it properly. http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/trojan.conspy.html As you can see it writes to the registry and will be running as soon as you boot up. Kind regards, Nick
