Head's up everyone

Got a new email from AOL today telling me about this great new download that I "need".  I am always afraid I will download something that will mess everything up.  So I reached out to my buddy Deb who found the answer for me.

Don't know what I am talking about?  This is part of the email I got from AOL:

The Latest AOL Software Is Here

Deb sent me a link to read about it:  http://blogs.zdnet.com/Orchant/?p=239

It basically says "that they don't tell you but they force you to download and install the AOL desk search program"  The article tells why you probably don't want this new download of AOL's.  So check it out before you decide to do anything. Ok? 

 

Thanks for you help Deb!
