A lot depends on where this programme is running from.

Read this thread HERE and post a renamed HJT log as an attachment. I`ll take a look and advise.

It's still really annoying. Does anyone know how to completely get rid of aolsoftware.exe? It runs on system startup after uninstalling AIM Triton

edit:
If you have uninstalled all of your AOL software and aolsoftware.exe still runs on startup, run HJT and kill this *****:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [HostManager] C:\Program Files\Common Files\AOL\<10-digit number>\EE\AOLSoftware.exe

you're welcome...

Yes, that`s true, if you want to completely get rid of AOL.

Make sure you manually delete any AOL files that are left on your system.
