If you find that you're unable to stay logged in to the Cellar via AOL's web browser for more than a minute at a time, your problem may be spyware.

I was helping Whit solve an unrelated problem to this, and had him install Ad-Aware from lavasoft. The junk Ad-Aware removed fixed his login problem (as well as a profoundly annoying pop-up problem).

So anyway, I don't use AOL myself, but I thought that if there were any frustrated lurkers out there with login problems, this might help them out.

Check out spybot too if your looking at ad detection software, I've yet to do a comparison to ad-aware but it seemed pretty feature heavy when I ran it on our work computer tonight.

When I rule the planet, these devious fuckers will supply the world's organ donor shortage.

Juju - "profoundly annoying" is an understated description of this type of fucking horse shit. Now the Ad-aware doesnt even seem to be working.
