Dude, she has AOL, and not AIM. That could work, but I doubt it.
GirlRacer, I would imagine since you have AOL, your computer is littered with Adware (the pop-up advertisements) and Spyware.
Try downloading AdAware at
http://download.com.com/3000-2144-10...ml?tag=lst-0-1 . After you download it, you'll have to install it. Then, open the program. You'll want to use the "Scan Now" option. It will take about 5 minutes, then make a little sound effect. You'll want to check all the boxxes, and click on finish (or whatever) to get rid of those cookie and program...
If that doesn't clear it up, try pouring water on your computer (the water drowns out pop-up ads, that can't swim too well).... just kidding.
Let me know if this helps at all.
