It's not as bad as everyone makes it seem. The only thing that sometimes happens is it messes up your dial-up Modem configuration. This can be remedied by reinstalling the Modem.
Uninstall AOL from Add/Remove Programs, including "Companion".
Remove the Program file from either C:\AOL or C:\Program Files\AOL.
Do search of the C drive for aol. Carefully delete them.
Go to Start / Run / Type regedit Click "Ok" / Now Back-up Registry First: Highlight "My Computer" (In the Registry) and Click File and select "Export". Select a location and name the file (the date works good) now click save.
Now Click on Edit / Find and type in AOL / Select "OK" / Delete the entry it finds. Hit the F3 Key and continue until it has finished searching the registry.
