America Online recently partnered with McAfeeŽ Security to provide free antivirus and firewall software to AOL subscribers. AOL also began offering free antispyware software that detects and removes malicious content from your PC. These three items are available free of charge to all AOL subscribers.
You can obtain the best performance with AOL version 9.0 software. The AOL 9.0 Security Edition works best for all three sets of security software provided by AOL, and it also tracks each program to ensure it is running and configured properly. AOL still offers alternate, and earlier, AOL software versions for people using older PCs and software configurations, so check the AOL downloads website for more information on all versions.
