Red Posted December 18, 2001 Share Posted December 18, 2001 [B]May I please say to all Aol members that you should switch your ISP as soon as you can. I ask you to do this because you may regret it in the future. AOL puts files in your system folder that your computer sometimes rejects, ruining your hard drive to a point that it cannot be recovered. AOL have admitted this in the past and on the disk it says : "We cannot be held responsible for anything that may happen to your computer during the usage of AOL" etc. etc.[/B] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeoCactuar Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 I use Paradise as my ISP, voted most reliable ISP of the year. Never had a problem with it, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicoTranzrig Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 If you're new to the Net use AOL...but if you at least know how to type in a URL...get away from that ISP and switch to a more reliable and cheaper server. There's just too many problems with it...especially privacy issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Asuka Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 GAY-OL....I hate AOL. We just recently switched to MSN, which isn't much better but it's pretty good in itself, and today it wouldn't sign me on, so I had to use AOL tonight....which is so annoying.....

I'm pretty sure that all ISPs have that, just in case you get a virus or something from an email using their email service, someone just might want to sue. :smoke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fall Posted December 19, 2001 Share Posted December 19, 2001 I use Austarnet for my internet connection. But that has happened before with this provider. My friend has Austarnet, and his computer got ruined from it because of a stupid "ocx" file or something. No idea what that file is, but I believe it is used to run programs. That makes it a bit suspicious, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
