It has done nothing but slow everything down and lose all my email files saved on my PC. In addition I had to pay $11.95 for tech support because of problems installing. I want it uninstalled, but not if I have to put up with the 9.1 popup again. Any ideas? After trying everything I could think of to cancel AOL 9.1 popup in lower rt. corner, I loaded 9.1.

I was able to disable the footer using the url posted above. The weird thing is that I had already unchecked the box through the settings when logged onto webmail, but would still get the footer. I tried your url and low and behold..the box was checked...I unchecked and sent emails to my other accounts...no Mapquest advertisements in the footer. Thanks again! Thanks for the info.
