It wasn't supposed to be "cute" or "clever" - it was a serious answer to
your problem. The sad fact is that AOHELL doesn't give a damn about its
victims (I'm afraid there's no other word for them). Its aim is to install
its trojanic software on every PC in the world. Once there it will
infiltrate its way into every corner and eventually kill the system. AOHELL
is poison - trust me. You don't want it on your system. It's probably the
direct cause of half your problems and indirectly involved with the other
half.

GET RID OF IT. Seriously. There is nothing special about it, don't believe
the adverts. It doesn't have any special "spam filters" or "child protection
filters" that you can't implement with a proper ISP.
