    Have you checked your system for spyware/malware with more than one antispyware program?  What kind of internet connection do you have (dialup, cable, dsl)?

    No offense, but I would not trust AOL to check the weather let alone spyware.  Try a secondary program like Microsoft's Defender.

    I have to agree on the AOL spyware scan. Get a couple of other programs and do a full system scan. AOL may prevent spyware from getting into their AOL software but it won't do much about protecting your actual PC.

    I would make sure you have all of your patches and also try running SpyBot S&D and AD-Aware SE.
