What Irony...
With Spyware Hawking AOL services non-stop what a joke to see the silly circus act AOL has launched to disguise their illegal involvement in SPAMMING and Spyware.

Here is a clue: FOLLOW THE MONEY and you'll find the criminals REAL FAST. Start at AOL's corporate offices and ask them who they send a check to every month for the illegal Spyware Hawking their services !!!

Ferchristsake this ain't Rocket Science, it's pure financial GREED !

This should be interesting reading:

This Illegal SPYWARE is being downloaded to market AOL Internet Services and Jimmy Surf ANTI-Spyware software, (sic).

This is where the Spyware link first takes you:

http://http300.edge.ru4.com/smartserve/ad?placement=si-0611-115&invocation=4000&rid=1091498331&siteID=159&pb=0

Then you are subjected to illegal SPAMMING such as these links:

http://rightmedia.net/click?c=5194&l=590&m=1091498332&f=0&e=0&F=0&E=0&a=1&A=1&z=8&T=0&L=0&t=1&i=159&s=151&r=1091498331.2452709

http://free.aol.com/tryaolfree/index2.adp?promo=514578&service=aol

I contacted AOL Customer Service AND AOL Tech Support via phone and by E-mail and they were worthless. They refused to help or to connect me with an AOL Supervisor who could help or identify the source for this ILLEGAL SPAMMING !!! They simply don't care as long as it sells AOL services...
