Dear bschnautz,

Recently we wrote to inform you that your subscription to McAfee®
VirusScan® Plus - Special edition from AOL would no longer be a
complimentary benefit of your membership. While your existing software
will continue to operate normally until its license expires, we wanted
to make sure your online security protection is not interrupted.

We’ve negotiated a special price just for our members to upgrade to
McAfee® Internet Security Suite - Special edition from AOL. If you
upgrade now, you’ll pay only $34.99 -- a 13% discount off AOL’s
already low annual rate and a full 50% discount off the regular retail
price.

Internet Security Suite provides our highest level of protection, with
additional safeguards that aren’t included in your existing VirusScan
Plus softwa

Identity-theft protection that helps secure your personal information
Tools to improve your computer’s health and performance
Features to help shield your home network
Though it’s packed with more advanced features, the Internet Security
Suite looks and feels much like your current VirusScan Plus software,
making it easy to set up and use.

With more than 5,000 new online threats discovered every month, you
should not let your computer’s security protection lapse. Upgrade
before December 22, 2008 to take advantage of this special early
upgrade pricing.

Sincerely,

AOL Member Services

Crap, it was in the 90's when I was building computers for Archetects
and installing POS (point of sale) systems for business. I had a
specific clause in the contract for service that if AOL was installed
on the system, it voided the service contract completely... *My
mother however kept it in her system till the day she died, I could
not cancel her contract - Hide quoted text -

Way, WAY back I had an aol account. It took forever and a day to
cancel that crap. I'm telling you, they make it almost impossible.
