I know MOST all peole do not like AOL, I am exception, I'd not be without them. I can place EVERYTHING to aol, verses my hard deive. If my computer crashes, I've still saved everything. I've had AOL since 1994 and never had a problem... almost 20 years worth. I've never picked up a virus here, but the links I OPEN are quilting links usually a pattern here or there. Sorry you have found a virus... Do you have virus protection???? :)
