What is happening with AOL? I have been having lots of pop ups, slow computer and AOL telling me they are having problems? My computer very slow?

Bejeweled has been giving so many people a lot of problems, it also happened to me, I uninstalled it, and then reinstalled it and now it's working fine again.

You more than likely have an infection. The problem is, removing an infection is a lot easier said than done. While your computer is running, so is the virus. And it would be like attempting to delete a picture, while you're looking at the picture. The computer will yell at you and tell you the file is in use. There are tons of guides on the internet as to how to easily remove a virus, but I will give you the short of it. If you don't have any antivirus active protection; Microsoft Security Essentials is free and pretty good. Download and install that. MalwareBytes and Spybot S&D (Search and destroy) are both fantastic at virus removal, but don't have active protection.
Download the three of these, install them, then restart your computer. As it is turning on, press F8 and then navigate to Safe Mode. Run all three scanners (not at the same time, and you might have to restart in between) and your computer should be much better off if this was the case. If this doesn't do much for your situation, at least you now have active antivirus protection.
Lastly you need to be VERY careful about the popups. Many of them advertise that your computer is infected and to buy "their" antivirus software. The problem is, that software is a scam and you will lose your money. And remember when you have big issues like running slow with popups all the time, you can always take it to a local tech shop if you're not comfortable with doing the work yourself. However this kind of repair can cost up to about $200.

Well, there are quite a lot of causes for your running slow or freezing MacBook computer, if you prefer a quicker yet easier way to fix the performance issues, see here: http://www.speedupmacbook.com/

it happens to me a lot most times its a network problem.keep trying and when it takes you to the loading page click on "use basic connection".that will make it faster. i hope this helps

WELL FIRST YOU NEED TO CLICK ON THE START BUTTON ON THE BOTTOM LEFT HAND CONNER OF THE MONITOR. NEXT TYPE IN MSCONFIG THEN PRESS ENTER. IT IS GOING TO ASK YOU IF YOU GIVE IT PERMISSION TO OPEN THE FILE CLICK ON YES. THEN WHEN IT OPENS UP CLICK ON THE STARTUP TAB BE VERY CAREFUL TO NOT UN CHECK ANYTHING THAT THE COMPUTER REQUIRES TO START UP. UN CHECK ANYTHING THAT HAS TO DO WITH AOL, ANY INSTANT MESSANGER YOU MIGHT HAVE INSTALLED ON UR COMPUTER, AND ANY OTHER PROGRAM THAT YOU NOTICE THAT YOU MIGHT NOT NEED TO START UP WHEN UR COMPUTER STARTS UP. THE TENDS TO BE A MAJOR FACTOR WHEN COMPUTERS ARE RUNNING SLOW OR START UP SLOW.N IF ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS OR INSTRUCTIONS ARE NEEDED PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AT [email protected] I GIVE YOU MY EMAIL BECAUSE I DONT KNOW HOW TO MAIL ANYONE ON THIS WEBSITE NOR HOW TO REPLY TO SOME UNLESS YOU CAN TELL ME. THANK YOU AND I HOPE I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM

AOL FINALLY listed the way to remove this major annoyance.
And it actually WORKS.

Delete the SpyZapper components manually. Log in to your computer using the administrator username and password, and then search and delete the following files:

• AOLszs.drv
• settings.ini
• OptScan.exe

Note: Generally these files are located as below:
AOLszs.drv & settings.ini files location:

• In Windows Vista: C:\ProgramData\AOL
• In Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AOL

OptScan.exe file location:

• In Windows Vista: C:\ProgramData\AOL.
• In Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AOL\C_AOL 9.1

AOL has been and will always have problem (had to do repairs on AOL computers since 1994)

If you have a DSL or Cable connection why pay again for AOL? That means you are paying twice for the same internet connection - and AOL causes lots of problems.

For AOL problems, it is best to contact AOL.

There can be a number of things that are slowing your computer down. First queston is, are you talking about it not running fast on the internet of in general running slow. I am going to take it your talking about it running slow over all. With new computers they (the maf.) but a lot of unecssary software in the "Start "", that really slows down the computer. I am going to tell you how to take care of this problem.

Go to Start-Run, when the winodw pops up type MSCONFIG (it looks like a lot of stuff, but's it only a teddy bear), go to the START UP TAB. You will see check markes next to all the software that is starting u and using a lot of system memory. Yo simple uncheck the ones you do not want to run at startup, now when you uncheck these the program will still run, but only when you tell it to,

When you have selected what programs you want to or do not want to run, Click on APPLY and then OK. The computr will restart and should begin to run faster.

When you have completed this, please let me know how it's working, and if still slower than you think it should be, then we will go to the nextstep.

it doesnt have to do ( AOL or McAFEE ) causing your computer to run slow . let me ask you a couple of question so I can pin point your problem .
1 do you downloads photos & music to your pc?
2 do you surf a lot thru the internet ?
3 do you perform the DISK CLEANUP ? if not , one of the main problem to have a PC to run slow is the MEMORY CAPACITY of your PC . let me know so I can show you some steps to improve your PC . thanks and hope it helps
