AOL is evil. We all know that. I hate when Toshiba preinstalls it on their laptops, but they make the best laptops so I suffer it until I uninstall it. This time around it does show in Add Remove programs, but the AOL uninstaller "searches" for 15 it foolishly claims no version of AOL was detected. Riiiiigh. AOL is still installed. Fortunately no bits of AOL attempt to run at any time.
Any ideas of how to completely remove all traces of AOL without merely deleteing it's program files subdirectory and manually scouring registry for "AOL"?
thanks
