Have you added any software lately or updated any software lately that might coincide with you computer becoming slow ?
There is no reason to suspect it is an AOL problem.

That would be your opinion of course. As I said there is no reason to suspect AOL software would be causing general issues with a computer and telling someone to ditch there ISP to solve issues such as the above is irrespsonsible, especially when the problem lies elsewhere. But that is only my opinion.
