AOL open ride

[Horseshoes]

Did anyone upgrade to this?

Do you like it?

I know a lot of people dont like AOL at all, but since its free, I just like what I am used to.

Somehow my AOL program wont work and I had to download it again, but its an older version. I cant find how to get the edition I had before, the only upgrade is to open ride.

So is it any good?

Thanks

I know most people dont like it, but I do. I like the home page and the toolbar. Its what I am used to and really dont have any issues with them, besides now its free anyway.

I was just curious if anyone has tried the new upgrade.

Thanks

I'm happy you like it's performance, but it's one of the biggest security leaks you can install on a PC, along with IE. it's so deep in your hard drive and registry it's kind of scary. firefox and opera are both free, why not try one of them?

OP, you aren't alone. I still use it, because I like it. (But DH uses something else. ) And ALOT of people I know still use it. And, yes, we've all switched to free.

Now, I'll be helpful & try to answer your question. Have you looked around at stores for those free CD's they have everywhere? I wonder what versions those would be? Obviously sounds like you don't have an old CD around to install from, huh? When you get your hands on a CD this time, hang onto it. Or if you get a download version, copy it for backup purposes.

People are always calling DH to use our copy.

What version did you have? I'll look around & see if we have any extras & I could mail you one if you can't find one in a store.

FYI: My DH is Systems Admin for military. We have a SECURE network here at home. We have to because of the work he does from home. But, I have no clue what we have for security. That's HIS job. I just know we have ALOT of it...and it annoys me sometimes. lol

So, having AOL doesn't have to be a bad thing.

I have AOL 9 Optimized SE (Security Edition). I wonder if this AOL 9VR would work?

I googled "download aol 9 optimized" and found this at CNET. Didn't try the download link to see if it worked though.

I have the 9.0 security edition.

I cant find it online either, just the open ride.

What kind of security problems are there with AOL?

their master database has been hacked several times.

that AOL isn't as 'secure' as you think it is.

no problem, if the US milatary used Macs and OSX, there wouldn't be a reason for concern. instead, they had to resort to PC's and Windows.
