Many thanks for your reply sorry for not getting back you to sooner.Abarbarian said:Historian at the moment you have,
Phone wall socket > cable to AOL modem > cable to pc > AOLsoftware ok when it is working fine, using up cpu and space on pc and downloading updates an consuming time when you switch pc on.
Here is an alternative,
Phone wall socket > cable to router/modem > cable to pc > no software of anykind, switch on pc and you have instant connection, an you get extra protection via router/modem = paradise.
Or you could go,
Phone wall socket > cable to router > cable to AOL modem > cable to pc > no software of anykind, switch on pc and you have instant connection, an you get extra protection via router/modem = paradise.
Someone here at the site has a link too a good site for secondhand router/modems hopefully they will read this and post. Or someone here will give advice as to the most suitable piece of equipment for you.
I have a Linskys 4 port router you could have for £3 + postage but you might get a better deal elswhere. See what folks advise first.
I'm still using AOL's free McAfee Firewall and I have done both of the above and it still updates etc etc . You do have to download McAfee Firewall software from the site and download it while you have the AOL software on your pc first before you get rid of the AOL software, then install it when you are AOL free.
Hope this helps.
