Hi Folks!
Every time I shut down the computer, I get the grey box which says; End program AOLacsd.exe, the program is not responding so I click "End Now" and then it proceeds.
This has been going on for awhile so we've just gotten used to it, but want to get rid of this annoyance.
We used to have dial up AOL but now we have wireless (since 8/05) and get aol through Time warner cable.
We have windows XP professsional, (pentium 2, ancient PC not much memory)
Is this left over from my AOL dial up days or is it indicative of another problem?
(Sari, your helper, cleaned up my PC in January of several infections- so I think I'm clean)


We also have a laptop and another PC without this problem
Thanks for any advice you can give,
Anthea2
