You came to the right place. I just typed this up the other day for another person.
GETTING RID OF AOL ON YOUR PC
Do yourself a BIG favor. Remove anything on your PC that even mentions AOL. It is a resource hog and simply tries to take over your pc.
Click on Start > Settings > Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and remove any AOL programs residing there.
Now click on Start > Search > For Files or Folders > All Files and Folders
type in AOL in the top box and let the computer do a complete search of your hard drive. When it is done, click on Edit at the top of the window and click on Select All
Then click on File and click on Delete. It will ask you if you want to remove them. Click on Yes.
If you want to REALLY finish the job:
NOTE: DON'T DO ANYTHING ELSE IN THE REGISTRY OTHER THAN WHAT I MENTION HERE. If you are not familiar with editing the registry and you do other things you may give yourself some big headaches.
Click on Start > Run >
type in regedit
click once on the very top directory to hilite it.
Hold down Ctrl + F; this will open a search window
type in AOL and then click on Find Next
when it finds an AOL entry, right click on it and select Delete and yes. (Do this if it is a folder in the left hand pane or if it is an entry in the right hand pane)
Hold down Ctrl + F again and repeat the process until you have cleaned your registry of all AOL items. This may be a very tedious process so hang in there.
When you think you have it all out. Go back up to the top directory in the left pane, hilite it, and search for AOL once again just to make sure you didn't miss any.
Once you are completely done. Reboot your PC. This will reset the registry and start up without all the AOL crap.
Hope this helps.

It is recommended that you visit AOL's website and seek support from AOL directly, as they are much more familiar with their own software than SurfBest.
AOL's instructions and guidance for this will be much more thorough and specific.
However, you can uninstall most of AOL's software by clicking Start, Settings, Control Panel.
Next, double-click "Add Remove Programs", and you should see AOL on the list.
Select it, and choose "Remove".
That should do it!
if not it may be a spy
