Hate to be negative, but AOL is the most AD-Crazy IP there is. I bet the SE will even have more ads. I only use AOL, because other IP's would not work very well. I am assuming it is because of a weak modem card, but not sure. I'd hate to buy a new card and have the same problem.
Everytime AOL forces you to accept one up their "UPDATES" it usually results in a Java ad on the welcome screen.
These are not popups, I have popup controls on, I also have AOL set to block AOL ads. But AOL still shows these "Java" ads sometimes.
If AOL was free, I'd have no right to complain. But I pay $23.90 a month!!!
So, it has been my experience that AOL upgrades only benefits AOL and their advertisers.
If the day ever comes I can have broadband, or DSL, AOL is gone.

"AOL 9.0 OPTIMIZED SE has been in beta testing for over six months by thousands of testers".
I guess thats AOL's assurance that the software is bug free, Hmmmmm. Kip

I haven't found any new software, nor hardware, in recent years that is bug free.
As for the Ads...yep, AOL has its share of them.
