AOL software makes numerous system changes which basically cannot be uninstalled. Once they're in they take over your system; they have a proprietary way of doing things, many common tools will not work with an AOL system. When you decide you don't like them you can't get rid of them unless you format and re-install. Might as well get it over with early.
I have read in the Oz computer press that they are in court in US for this.
