Dear theCow: Wow, that article was scary. I am an unsophisticated AOL user. I started with 3.0. Upgraded later to 4.0 then awhile back to 5.0. I erased 3.0 upon adding 5.0 but left 4.0 in place on advice of the AOL representative. I wouldnt even know how to reformat and all those things the article talked about. I have noticed two things. One I have the built in AOL browser even though I had downloaded the 5.0 seperately. I get the "blue screen" more often than before and twice it hasnt even allowed me to shut down my computer properly. Had to turn off the electrical power then reboot and run scan disk. I guess the only thing that has saved me from worse is I have no other ISP, its a stand alone setup etc. As for the email, biggest problem I have is only allows 1 picture to be downloaded. and does NOT accept any file that says MIME.
