I have a new Vista based HP Pavilion computer. It came with some HP provided software files and online service choices that I do not want, one of which is AOL. I do not use AOL and would like to remove all traces of AOL from the computer. I was surprised when I searched for AOL references, found lots of AOL related files, most of which are within a folder in Program Files/Online Services/AOLUS. There is no mention of anything related to AOL in 'Uninstall a program' nor any reference in any startup list. I am assuming I can just delete the folder called AOLUS and AOL will be gone; do you think that is right, or do I need to do something else? I did google for advice, but did not find much, although I do find complaints about difficulty getting rid of AOL. In my case I have never 'activated' or 'launched' anything with AOL on this computer. Thanks.
