hey guys, recently updated from the old modem to a new buffalo wbmr-g54 modem/router, i bought it just to use on my ps3 along with the desktop

anyways my query, on my desktop now i turn him on and can surf straight away as with all routers without opening up aol to connect, does this mean i can now uninstall aol without breaking my connection?

reason being, i often get pop ups (not adverts or virus related) asking me to choose my internet connection which i know is influenced by AOL

[Hybr!d]

Yes you can now delete it, providing you have programmed your AOL username and password in the router?

[mrdaveyk]

aye all sorted.

cheers dave!

thats one less burden on this computer hehe

[Hybr!d]

Aye, it's a good move, AOL is very bloated.

Have AOL moved away from their network unfriendly ways now?

There was a time when you couldn't use it on more than one PC....

[mrdaveyk]

hhmm they seem to be ok now, brother is currently using it also

however im still getting the pop up i mentioned



my internet freezes until i press close, when installing the router i did have to turn certain options to 'find connection automatically', but they were already set like that, sorry im typing out load!

cheers all!

It seems as if there is still some AOL left on your PC.. perhaps.

Would you mind posting a Hijack This log?

Also, what happens if you just click on the AOL connection and click connect?

[mrdaveyk]

yeh ill post a log tonight as i am also getting one or two pop ups of late, think my brother has been on my pc

i got to shoot to work now but ill give connecting to aol a try if it happens again in the next few mins and see if it remains permanent without asking again

cheers mate, ill get back to ya!

[mrdaveyk]

sorted, for some reason i had a list of other internet connections so i deleted them all, which has fixed it

also found the source of pop-ups that ive been having lately, alls good, cheers lads!

[serverguy]

Glad you got it fixed.
